$$$ Royal Gorge Bridge & Park
4218 County Rd 3A, Cañon City, CO 81215
The highest suspension bridge in America, hung 956 feet above the Arkansas River — plus an aerial gondola, zip line, skycoaster, and walking decks for the brave.
About a 1-hour drive south of Colorado Springs through Cañon City. The bridge itself is the headline — walking across is included with admission, and looking through the wood planks at the river that far below is unforgettable.
Bundle the Cloudscraper Zip Line or Royal Rush Skycoaster for an adrenaline day. The whole park is wheelchair-accessible. Combine with a stop at Skyline Drive in Cañon City on the way back.
