Royal Gorge Bridge and Park boasts the highest bridge in the United States, spanning the gorge at 291 m (955 ft) above the Arkansas River. You'll appreciate the view by crossing the bridge on foot to peer down into the canyon below. In the park, you'll find a sky coaster that carries you over the gorge at high speeds. A gondola ride down the river adds a little romance to the great outdoors, while ziplines and mini trains allow you to give your feet a rest. Start at the visitor center to purchase tickets and pick up a map of the area.

Network service here is poor but the staff were really helpful in lending me a phone to call a cab. It was cold and windy, trembled a bit on the bridge but made it to the end and watched the video...

What an amazing view! I really enjoyed the day. Consequently, there was a storm coming in, so we were not able to ride the gondola across the canyon. The Park Ranger Michael was so kind. He gave us a really nice history of the park, and let us know if we came back the next day our tickets would still be valid. The Raphtor Show was really educational. The landscaping is pretty. It was worth the drive! Go check it out!

The views here are absolutely amazing! We came in the morning when the park first opened and it did not disappoint! We rode the gondola first, which actually gave us a pretty easy walk back. I highly suggest doing that first if it's on the docket of things to do. After that, we walked the bridge back which lead to some spectacular views, if you can handle the swaying bridge of course! If you're from the States, make sure to take a picture with your flag. We enjoyed a delicious meal in their cafeteria and opened up the wallet for some swag at the gift shop. After the fire, they really did a great job putting this place back together and adding some exciting improvements. This is a must for families and sightseers!
