The Royal Gorge





This weekend we visited the Royal Gorge which is below Colorado Springs and above Pueblo. I just got a new camera, so definitely trying it out.












We rode the aerial tram which is the world's longest single-span aerial tram (there is a test at the end of this). We were very high. We saw birds flying below us (very odd feeling).




This a picture of the Royal Gorge Bridge. This is the world's highest suspension bridge. We rode the trolley across this.









Saw some elk, bison, and rams.








Rode the incline. This is the world's steepest incline railway.






Abby at the bottom of the incline.






Also had a merry-go-round. Abby was comparing the incline to the ride, Top Gun, at King's Island.
