Colorado is said to "lie on top of the country." For good reason: it is home to 16 of the continent's 50 highest mountains. The highest peak in the state of Mount Albert is 4399 m above sea level.
The railway bridge that cuts the Royal Gorge near Canyon City is the world's highest suspension bridge. It is located 320 meters above the Arkansas River.
