Rio Grande Gorge Bridge在當地被稱為“Gorge Bridge”和“High Bridge”,位在美國新墨西哥州Taos小城西北方10哩(16公里)處,是一座鋼骨結構的拱橋,跨越Rio Grande Gorge。該橋橋面距Rio Grande Gorge河谷有565呎(172公尺),是美國第7高、世界第82高的橋樑。

該橋於該橋於1963年開始興建,於1965年竣工,同年9月10日正式通車,為連接U.S.64公路東西向的一座橋梁。Rio Grande Gorge Bridge總跨距為1280呎(390公尺),中央跨越兩岸的主跨距600呎(180公尺),兩端則各為300呎(91公尺)的引道。








這座橋已經有多部影片在此取景,其中包括Natural Born Killers、Twins、White Sands、She's Having a Baby、The Signal (2014 film)、Paul、Wild Hogs和Terminator Salvation等;相對的也由於該橋之有名,自從該橋竣工之後一直有許多厭世者來此躍河自殺,有關當局正在研究如何預防此種自殺行為。
