New River Gorge Bridge in West Virginia


The second longest single steel-arch bridge in the world with a length of 3,030 feet. Best known for the annual 'Bridge Day,' held every year on the third Saturday of October. This is the only day that pedestrians are allowed on the bridge. A few brave souls parachute off the bridge.

The bridge is 876 feet above the scenic New River which is a favorite of white water rafters.
