Royal Gorge combines one of Colorado's most dramatic canyon landscapes with a suspension bridge that stretches nearly 1,000 feet above the Arkansas River. During our visit, we explored the bridge, walked through the park, and learned about the history of the gorge. Later, we toured the Museum of Colorado Prisons, one of the more unusual attractions in Cañon City.
