Our Newest National Park

New River Gorge in WV is our newest National Park. The bridge sits almost 900 feet above the New River below, and the bridge spans more than 3,000 feet across the valley (almost a half a mile), the second longest span in the western hemisphere (used to be the longest in the world when it was built).

Look how small the cars look and noticed the little bird on the left or right depending how you look at the bridge.

@bruni Haha, forced perspective. The bird is the size of the cars! LOL! I didn't even see the bird until you mentioned it.
