 Could have used a wider lens but I didn't realize just how big this thing is so I didn't have one with me.

Left the tourists in for perspective.

There is a road on top of the bridge, BTW. Route 11 runs right across it, but when you're on the road you can't really tell where the bridge is because of all the trees growing on it. This is one impressive rock!

Unnaturally aggressive HDR Tone Mapping has taken all the depth out of an otherwise stunning scene. Love the scale the hikers provide.
