2022 Michigan SkyBridge (Footbridge) at Boyne Falls, MI

(Satellite, this is the parking lot. I could not find the bridge. )

Tickets are $25 if bought online and $30 if bought at the window. This was added to a ski and golf resort. It is 1200' (366m) long and 118' (36m) high. [BoyneMountain]

Sandra Howell posted three photos with the comment: "The Michigan Skybridge is the longest suspension bridge in the world and is a 4 hour drive from Ann Arbor, Michigan. There is a glass section in the middle of the bridge that is very exciting... No wonder everyone smiles at you and says 'enjoy' when you first get on the bridge 🤪"
[It is the longest TIMBER-TOWERED suspension bridge. Qualifying adjectives are important when you are playing the "-est" game.]

A side view of one of the towers helps one understand how a tower handles the cable stress.
