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.
