The Royal Gorge Bridge

The Royal Gorge Bridge and Park is right outside Canyon Colorado and the bridge spans the Arkansas River 1000 feet below. It is truly something to see and  we drove Farkus across 3 times just to experience it and to take a few pictures. We also rode the tram across the gorge twice and the incline railway took us down into the gorge and back up.

(note-between the planks you can see 1000 ft
to the river & gorge below!)

Looking straight down 1000 feet to
the raging Arkansas River below

The steepest Incline Railway in the world
takes you all the way down to the river
and back.

Halfway down to the river meeting the
other rail car coming back up.

Looking up at the bridge from 1000 ft
down into the gorge.

The tram looks like a little dot going
across the gorge.

that used to feed Canyon City 8 miles
away.

Remnants of old wooden pipe at bottom of gorge.
It was strapped to side of gorge right above the
raging river. I cannot believe they actually did this.
