"The 228-foot suspension bridge spans an 80-foot chasm at more than one mile in elevation (hence the name!)."

Cindy Smith posted three photos with the comment: "One year ago I decided to hike Grandfather Mountain and of course I had to cross ‘America’s Highest Suspension Footbridge’!"

[I wonder where Cindy found the claim of ‘America’s Highest Suspension Footbridge’. The Royal Gorge Bridge was the world's highest bridge until 2001. It is a suspension footbridge bridge in America.]
