Royal Gorge Suspension Bridge in Cañon City
Among the best day trips from Denver is Royal Gorge Suspension Bridge. The Royal Gorge Bridge was built in 1929 for visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of this geologic wonder. Suspended 956 feet over the Arkansas River, the bridge might make your palms sweaty with its height but reveals a birds-ey view of breathtaking landscapes. The newest attraction is the Via Ferrata course on the granite walls of the Royal Gorge. Conquer the gorge on this family-friendly, guided climbing experience. You’ll see views of the bridge and get a perspective of the gorge’s depths you can’t find anywhere else.
Besides, from the top of a 100-foot tower, swing up to 50 mph over the edge of the Royal Gorge on the World’s Scariest Skycoaster! This thrilling experience swings harnessed riders 1,200 feet over the Arkansas River. Are you ready to soar? Furthermore, fly by the seat of your pants across the Royal Gorge, rim to rim, on the Cloudscraper Zip Line! It’s rated the Travel Channel’s #1 Colorado Bucket List experience. This hands-free ride zips you through the air for an adventure you’ll have to experience yourself to believe!
