	<p>The following cliffwalks are ranked on the maximum 80 to 90 degree near vertical drop height of the highest point on the structure to the talus below. Nearly all of these figures are based on estimates from my analyzing of photos or from using a laser rangefinder as most scenic areas will exaggerate this height. If you know of a cliffwalk that was not included then send me the information on the walkway so I can add it to the list. Enjoy!</p>		<p>The following cliffwalks are ranked on the maximum 80 to 90 degree near vertical drop height of the highest point on the structure to the talus below.
