Royal Gorge, Colorado
Royal Gorge is close to Canon City in Colorado, I came across this by accident one evening whilst on a road trip, so on our way back from Yellowstone in July 2008 we stopped off so Sarah could get a look at the place. The tiny cable car in the picture adds scale to the enormous gorge.
There is a park here and the usual tourist stuff abounds, best of which is a narrow suspension bridge that crosses the Gorge, though it looks flimsy we took our truck over it later in the day (for a small fee of course) and we are still here to tell the tale.
We decided to take a pony trail, though I think Sarah may need a little more time handling a horse before we go again, hers seemed to go anywhere he wanted, whenever he wanted, Sarah did say she enjoyed it but looked relieved to be getting off at the end ;)
After the horse ride the huge cows were a doddle and the small park an enjoyable experience.
ultimately this was a really nice little park and a great drop off on the route home to Bartlesville.
