Skip the dizzying walk across the terrifying convergence of an extremely high bridge and fast moving traffic within arms reach. Instead, go just past the bridge and turn into the parking lot with the parking spots and restrooms. Find the trailhead and walk on the trail for 3-5 minutes, staying to the left, and you'll come to a wide spot in the trail where you can take photos of the gorge and get a great view (watch your step of course).
