After leaving Leadville we went on to Canon City (pronounced Canyon City). We stayed there and then the next day went on the Royal Gorge Railroad.
It was a nice, comfortable rail trip. Also open air cars that you could walk out and see sights. Amazing canyons etc.
We could see up to the bridge that goes across the gorge. We went across a hanging bridge and we watched rafters going down the river.
After finished the train trip, we drove up to the top area and went to the park up there. We road on the aerial tram that goes across the gorge.
From the tram looking over to the bridge and down in the canyon.
The park had enclosures of animals. There were buffalo with a rare white buffalo, big horn sheep, and elk.
We walked over the bridge. Cars can drive on it. They have flags from all the states along the sides of the bridge. It is quite the view looking down.
We rode on the incline railway that went from the top down to the river.
After visiting the Royal Gorge, we went to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.
