An unforgettable quarter-mile journey through the clouds awaits thrill seekers at the Royal Gorge Bridge & Park, a classic Colorado vacation destination offering 21 rides, shows and attractions on 360 amazing acres. The crown jewel of the park is a Suspension Bridge floating 1,053 feet above the Arkansas River that was built in 1929 and remains the highest bridge in North America. The Royal Gorge – often referred to as the Grand Canyon of the Arkansas River – was created more than three million years ago when a trickle of water began to carve a canyon out of the solid granite bedrock. It still continues to carve at a rate of one foot every 2,500 years! This natural wonder has inspired an amusement park featuring the world’s longest single-span Aerial Tram, Jeep Tours, a trolley, a scale model of an original 1893 train at the Silver Rock Railroad, Watt Mule Rides, the Incline Railway and the Royal Rush Skycoaster – a free-fall tower sweeping you 50 mph to hang above the Arkansas River. All of it adds up to one of the most amazing Colorado adventures the whole family can share.
