Royal Gorge Bridge includes a walk on the 1,257 wooden planks 956 feet suspended over the Arkansas River. As a person with a bit of fear of heights the swaying of the bridge was uncomfortable.
There plenty of thrilling things to do however the incline train to the bottom and the tram were destroyed in a fire.
The attractions are now
Zipline
Gondola
Skycoaster
Rock Climbing - Vis Ferrara Course
Good day trip for a thrill.
Highest bridge in the world for the longest time. Truly scenic and family friendly park with lots of history. Situated right outside Cañon City, you can also swing by Skyline Drive which is free to the public and has some great views and the road is a one way trip with self guided markers including a dinosaur fossil path. Cañon City is a small yet friendly town with decent eateries for all to enjoy.
Absolutely beautiful and stunning views. General admission is $32 includes the Gondola and a half hour documentary. The gondola ride was a little scary 1200 ft down lol but it was worth it. We walked from the other side to the bridge which was stunning. Saw a big horn sheep close up. Many other attractions like; skydiving, helicopter ride, jeep tours, zip lining.
There's lots to do and see here. Spectacular views of the gorge. We rode the Gondola across the gorge, then walked back. Mostly down hill, some steep. Several things to do and see walking back. Wear good shoes, sunscreen and a hat.
They open at 10 AM. Arrive early, they are very busy as the day goes on.
