I'm trying to place this picture my granddad took on his cross country trip in 1922.  I think it is either in the Denver area or in the Devils Canyon area of Arizona.

I've built a website that contains the journal, pictures and maps plus extra history and pictures from his trip.  That site is http://www.1922coast2coast.com.    I'm trying to figure out as many of his pictures as possible.

I don't think that looks like Colorado, but it could certainly be Arizona.  I suggest further pursuit of your Devils Canyon theory.

  I agree  with Andy3175,  it  looks  like the canyon just before the Queen Creek Tunnel  east of Superior,AZ.

Does anyone have any information on this bridge

This is about 12 miles east of me.  From what I understand, it was finally destroyed during hurricane Agnes in 1972.  At least that's what the locals claim, though I can't see how an East Coast storm could effect this area.  It was very close to the location of today's desert view tower in In-Ko-Pa and carried an early incarnation of US 80.

It was hurricane Kathleen in 1976 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Kathleen_(1976). Destroyed a section of I-8 including the bridge.
