The Arkansas River cuts through the famous gorge just west of downtown. Stop by Royal Gorge Brewing in downtown for awesome food and atmosphere. Fishing on the river is also top notch. There are a number of rides and attractions at the park in addition to the bridge including a cliff walk, aerial tram, incline railway, and Royal Rush Skycoaster. Year round visitors pass through to see the famous Royal Gorge canyon and bridge.
What do you get when you cross a mountain town with a fast moving river? Charles and Cole on the Arkansas River in Colorado. The first is its many long-standing penitentiaries there are 13 in the area and the second is amazing whitewater rafting, climbing and exploring just west of the city. They have both one and two bedroom bungalows with lofts, so Cole got his own king sized bed, while I got mine. Some of the new cabins at Royal Gorge Cabins.
