scenic byway attractions

There's a place in Colorado where looking down is even more breathtaking than looking up. The Royal Gorge Bridge & Park is like nothing else - the awe-inspiring spectacle of man and nature meeting each other halfway - and that's before we even talk about the rides, entertainment and attractions. The views are magnificent and the rides are thrilling. Open year-round. Don't miss it!

The Royal Gorge Bridge & Park is a one-of-a-kind place for your family and friends to make memories that will last a lifetime! More than 360 acres and 21 rides, shows and attractions for you to explore. Experience the awe-inspiring panoramic views of the Gorge from the world's highest Suspension Bridge that hangs 1,053 feet high and spans a quarter mile across the canyon! Take a ride on the world's longest single-span Aerial Tram or the steepest Incline Railway on the planet. Or if you're seeking a real thrill, fly over the Gorge on the Royal Rush Skycoaster.

Children young and old alike will love our antique carousel, the Silver Rock Railway, petting zoo with burro rides and our Wapiti Western Wildlife Park? with white American Bison, Big Horn Sheep and Rocky Mountain Elk.

Everyone will enjoy our Plaza Theatre with historical display, great gift shops and restaurants. Outdoor lovers will enjoy the opportunity to hike and bike the breathtaking scenic trails.
