I've been reading about the tragic wildfires in Colorado this past week and one of the areas hit was around the Royal Gorge Bridge Park in Canon City, Colorado. We were there in 2011 and enjoyed a day of walking across the bridge, "flying" the Skycoaster, taking the tram across the river (over 1,000 feet below), observing the animals, and more.
The park has had several attractions burned from this fire. Word is, they will rebuild. We hope so. This historic park has been visited by millions and we would certainly include it on our activities list the next time we take a trip to the Colorado Rockies. I've read that all the animals were moved to safety.

These were our oldest boys on the 2011 trip to Colorado. Seven of these boys will be with us in Europe in 2013.
This is a glimpse of the Skycoaster attraction at Royal Gorge with a couple of our guys taking a ride. You would have to see it, or experience it, to know what this thrill might be like. Personally, I haven't experienced it and doubt I ever will.
