The Royal Gorge Bridge and Park offers a breathtaking view of Colorado unmatched by any other place in the state. It is home to the highest suspension bridge in the country, which spans the 1,250-foot gorge known as Colorado's Natural Wonder. In addition to enjoying the view, visitors can also participate in exciting activities such as whitewater rafting and riding on the sightseeing Royal Gorge Railroad. The region surrounding Royal Gorge is rich in history and has many fascinating stories to tell. From fossils and Native American artifacts to coal mining operations and the construction of the Royal Gorge Bridge, there are plenty of clues to the past waiting to be explored. The geological formations that make up the gorge took millions of years to form as the river carried sediment and pebbles along the ground, carving out the vast depths we see today.
Planes, trains, and automobiles are displayed at the Forney Museum of Transportation. With over 500 exhibits showcasing various antique cars, carriages, railcars, cabooses, fire engines, aircraft, motorcycles, bicycles, tricycles, and Denver's only cable car, visitors will find something interesting. The Forney Museum of Transportation boasts a unique collection of over 800 artifacts related to historical transportation. It all began 67 years ago with a single 1921 Kissel but quickly expanded to include vehicles of all kinds. Today, the museum features vehicles, buggies, motorcycles, steam locomotives, aircraft, carriages, rail equipment, fire apparatus, public transportation, sleighs, bicycles, toys & diecast models, vintage apparel, and more.
