From Native American dancers to birds of prey and zoo critters, the Royal Gorge Bridge & Park is rolling out the red carpet for its 92nd year, which is shaping up to be a great rebound from last summer’s COVID-19 pandemic-related challenges.
As the nation’s highest suspension bridge spanning the granite Royal Gorge canyon 956 feet above the Arkansas River in Canon City, the man-made wonder is a complement to nature’s beauty. Added with some thrilling attractions from the Via Ferrata safe-climbing feature to the Royal Rush Skycoaster and the Cloud Scraper Zip Line to the aerial gondolas and the Tommy Knocker Playland, the park has something for the whole family.

Ten things that make Colorado great:
It has EVERYTHING. Mountains. Rivers. Lakes. Desert. Plains. Grasslands. Not seeing something you like? Keep looking! It s out there.
It has great people. Instead of a bloated government, large numbers of volunteers and nonprofits support all manner of outdoor recreation, making the outdoors better for everyone. (See also #4 below)
The weather is wonderfully varied. And weird. It can be sunny and 60 degrees early in a March week, and snowing bucketfuls a few days later (like this week.). Summer days can start out sunny and hot and end with a thunderstorm that replenishes our soil and cools things off. Bonus: We all become amateur meteorologists.
