Royal Gorge Bridge and Park after the fire. I reported a few weeks ago that wildfires were threatening Colorado's Royal Gorge Bridge & Park. According to a post a couple of days ago, the entire park was lost except for the world-famous bridge, one of the theaters, and the mini-train.
The park has let a contract to begin demolition of the ruined buildings and hopes to have things cleaned up enough to open the bridge for one-way traffic within a couple of months.
They have hopes to rebuild the park and say it could be open in as little as a year once demolition and clean-up have ended. We hope so. It's a fun place and was a favorite on our last two Colorado Rockies trips in 2007 and 2011. I'm not sure when our next trip to Colorado might take place, but am thinking around 2016. (You know, that's not that far away!)
