John Dunn Bridge

This swimming hole deep in the Rio Grande Gorge is both lovely and refreshing!  Visitors spread out along the banks for a dip in the cool waters, and rock climbers ascend both sides of the canyon walls.

Hard to find, but fun to see the old bridge before they constructed the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge on Hwy 64. Hard to imagine all the switchbacks and difficult rocky road as the primary route for workers in Taos once upon a time.
