Fort Wayne, Indiana: Hanson Quarry Observation Deck (In Transition)
Unexpected thrill for a big city: a viewing deck that overlooks a 1,000-foot-deep hole in the ground. Dubbed "Indiana's Grand Canyon," the limestone quarry began in 1942 and gets deeper every day. The deck was reported closed for renovations in early 2024.
