Royal Gorge Bridge
The Royal Gorge Bridge near Canon City is one of the highest suspension bridges in America, hanging almost 1,000 feet above the Arkansas River. Around it is a fun park with rides, a gondola, and a giant zip line.
It is famous for the thrill of walking high above a deep rocky canyon with the river far below. Brave visitors ride the sky coaster and gondola for even bigger views and even bigger fun.
