Entering the narrowest part of the gorge.



















Notice the bridge, that's 955 feet up!



















This is the narrowest of the gorge, a bridge is constructed to support the rail bed.
Unbelievable!



















It was warm and sunny that day, no clouds in sight.


















A lot of river rafting on the way back.
