The Sky Walk At Pennsylvania's Kinzua Bridge Is Terrifyingly Fun

Are you brave enough to experience this sky walk in Pennsylvania? Mother Nature simply won’t take no for an answer but, then again, neither will the Kinzua Bridge. When Mother Nature unleashed her fury with a furious tornado that ripped through Kinzua State Park in 2003, she succeeded in bringing down all but one-third of the 2,053 foot long Kinzua Bridge.
But, despite the vicious storm, part of the Kinzua Bridge refused to collapse. Today, the 600 feet of bridge that survived has become one of the state’s most spectacular sky walks, promising visitors a stunning view of the forest floor and the remains of the bridge scattered haphazardly some 300 feet below.
Off we go on a virtual tour of the Kinzua Bridge Sky Walk in Pennsylvania that will make your stomach drop (and that will likely kickstart your wanderlust).
