Devil’s Gate Bridge near Geoergetown, Colorado (United States)

We will win the fight today, boys,
We'll win the fight today,
Shouting the battle cry of union;
We will rally from the coal mines,
We'll battle to the end,
Shouting the battle cry of union.

The union forever, hurrah, boys, hurrah!
Down with the Baldwins, up with the law;
For we're coming, Colorado, we're coming all the way,
Shouting the battle cry of union.


Song from the Mines

Devil’s Gate High Bridge over Clear Creek near Georgetown, Colorado (United States)

...
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
And the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply
Rocky mountain high
...

Royal Gorge Bridge over the Arkansas River in Fremont County, Colorado (United States)




“What I didn’t expect to discover, within a few short years, is that there were several bridges that were unknown to the outside world that were being constructed, mostly in China, that were actually higher than the Royal Gorge Bridge”

Bridge over the Río de las Ánimas in the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, Colorado (United States)


No llores mi querida
Dios nos vigila
Soon the horse will take us to Durango
Agarrame mi vida
Soon the desert will be gone
Soon you will be dancing the fandango.


From Durango Romance
