Exciting Activities to do at the Royal Gorge in Colorado
Start your day zooming 1,500 feet straight down into the gorge in a bright red helicopter at speeds of 150 mph, diving and climbing the Royal Gorge, grazing the Arkansas River and skimming over the Royal Gorge Bridge.

Come visit the Royal Gorge Region and experience the perfect combination of outdoor adventure, Old West history, and small-town hospitality.

While the area is less than an hour drive from Colorado Springs or Pueblo, you really feel like you are going back to an earlier era... one without all the crowds and hurry. This is a place where you can slow down and window shop the Main Streets in Canon City or Florence. Or speed up, with a paddle in your hands, through the Class V rapids of the Arkansas River in the Royal Gorge. Or some of both.

The possibilities for outdoor adventures are made even better by the superb year-round climate that is warmer and drier than both Denver and Colorado Springs.

Come visit the Royal Gorge Region... world famous attractions: the heart-stopping Royal Gorge Bridge, sinuous Royal Gorge Railroad, and pulse-pounding whitewater in the Royal Gorge itself, and countless adventures are await.
