Royal Gorge Bridge – Enjoy at Your Pace

A short four-mile drive from our office takes you to the Royal Gorge Bridge & Park, where you can enjoy the entire park at your leisure. Included in your admission to the park are the new aerial gondolas, theater shows, expansive Children’s Playland (including a vintage carousel, slide complex, splash pad, and playground toys), numerous scenic vistas, tram ride, and mini-train. Newly renovated since a fire in 2013, the park boasts all-new attractions with over $30 million in improvements! If you haven’t been in a few years, you’ll wonder at all the changes being made to this world-class attraction. As always, the Royal Gorge Bridge stands at the center of the park, offering views of the canyon and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in the distance – an unparalleled panorama. Children will love participating in the Park’s Junior Ranger program, where they’ll explore the park and receive a special prize at the end of your day!

Want More Excitement?

For an added fee, you can also brave the Royal Rush Sky Coaster or the thrilling Cloud Scraper Zipline. There isn’t another zipline like it in the world, as it sends you flying over the entire span of the 1,000-foot-deep Royal Gorge. (Age limits apply.) If you are interested in more Colorado rafting excitement by upgrading the rafting portion of your trip to an adventure-class section of river, please call us before making your reservation and we can help find the package for you!

WOW! WOW! WOW! What a phenomenal experience! We were lucky enough to be on the LAST tour of the season for the Royal Gorge rafting trip. My husband and I had such a fantastic experience. Our guide, Alfredo, was TOP NOTCH! His experience, knowledge, and genuine personality made our trip one to remember. From start to finish, everyone we encountered had a high level of customer service. This rafting trip was the highlight of our vacation! WE WILL BE BACK!

Pam, our guide, was absolutely fantastic. So knowledgeable, great teacher, and just an over-all sweetheart. I fell in love with rafting and immediately wanted to sign-up for another rafting trip when we were done. Can't wait to go out again! Let Pam know Chrystal from the stationery wholesale forgot to give her the name, Tiramisu Paperie of where she works.

This trip was one of the best experiences of my life. First let me give shout out to Alfredo. He made everyone feel safe and his knowledge of the area was really intriguing. My son who is “Mr. Teen negative” enjoyed himself and still felt he looked cool doing it. (Bonus points) The facilities were really clean, the staff were great and exciting. Definitely going back and asking for Alfredo’s group. Thank you for giving us a great father/ son memory.
