## Resource

Step back in time to the Royal Gorge Bridge, America’s highest suspension bridge since 1929, where 80 everyday workers built a marvel in just seven months. Standing 956 feet above the Arkansas River, it was born from a dream to create an amusement park—and survived a 2013 wildfire that destroyed 90% of the park. Though the bridge held strong, only 100 planks scorched, the park rose again in 14 months. Today, it’s not just a thrill ride—it’s a monument to grit, anchored by ancient rocks and dinosaur bones, inviting you to feel the spirit of those original builders.
