Considered one of the 8 Wonders of the World at the time of its construction, the bridge was partially destroyed by a tornado in 2003, but the remaining structure is now a towering skywalk. Near the park are numerous hiking/biking trails and a beautiful new visitor center with educational exhibits and a gift shop add to the tourist experience.
