Royal
Gorge Route Railroad - Ride the Royal Gorge Route and
experience one of the most spectacular railroads in the world! Photo by Ron
Ruhoff. The
train pauses on each run on the famous Hanging Bridge-a point so narrow in the
1,000-foot-deep canyon, that engineers hung a bridge from the walls to suspend
the rails over the rushing waters of the Arkansas River.
The
Royal Gorge Bridge is the world's highest suspension bridge. It's considered a
legendary feat of engineering as inspiring as the Eiffel Tower.
At a 1,053 feet above the canyon floor, it's the world's most massive gorge. The breathtaking
panoramic vistas are as awesome as the Grand Canyon.
Manitou Cliff Dwellings - Extraordinary
American Indian historical treasure.
Garden
of the Gods - While exploring nearby locations, two surveyors came upon a
beautiful area of sandstone formations. M. S. Beach, who related this incident,
suggested that it would be a "capital place for a beer garden" when the country
grew up. His companion, Rufus Cable, a "young and poetic man", exclaimed, "Beer
Garden! Why it is a fit place for the Gods to assemble. We will call it the
Garden of the Gods." It has been so called ever since.
