On one of the mountain's several peak, visitors can visit a museum and the famous "mile-high swinging bridge" as well as an astonishing view of up to 100 miles (160 km) over the surrounding area. The mile-high swinging bridge, built in 1952 by Hugh Morton, is the highest in America and links two of the mountain's rocky peaks.
