5 days in Cañon City Itinerary

Part of Colorado's Royal Gorge Region, Cañon City straddles the Arkansas River.

You've now added Royal Gorge Bridge and Park to your itinerary. Change things up with these side-trips from Cañon City: Florissant (Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument & Florissant Fossil Quarry) and Cripple Creek (Old Homestead House Museum, Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine, &more). There's still lots to do: let the river carry you with a rafting and tubing tour, examine the collection at Royal Gorge Regional Museum and History Center, look for all kinds of wild species at Garden Park Fossil Area, and trek along Tunnel Drive.

To find more things to do, maps, ratings, and more tourist information, go to the Cañon City online trip itinerary maker.

Expect a daytime high around 90°F in July, and nighttime lows around 63°F.
