"Ditch"; "Cool"; Rio; 130 This file contains raw footage of interviews with tourists along the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge. This is raw footage for ¡Colores! # 802 “Spanning the High Desert: New Mexico’s Historic Highway Bridges." From conquering the flash floods of the Rio Puerco to the beauty of the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, New Mexico’s historic highway bridges have one thing in common -- they played an important role in linking the state together. This ¡Colores! celebrates how these Bridges were built in the spirit of efficiency and progress, are artistic structures in their own right, and have become manifestations of our state’s unique history. This program is produced with local historians David Kammer & Chris Wilson
