The world's highest skycoaster.
We did not ride this.
Rocky Mountain Elk
American Bison
Cowboys' Town
Crossing the Suspension Bridge
World's steepest incline
"Built in 1931, and traveling at a 45-degree angle, the world's steepest Incline Railway is still considered one of the most difficult structures ever built." form Royal Gorge Site
" Here, timeless granite walls loom all around as you descend over 1,500 feet to the canyon floor, a mere 50 feet at its widest. " from Royal Gorge Site
"Looking up, the Bridge appears as a delicate ribbon cutting across the sky." from Royal Gorge Site
About 6 minutes ride of the Incline Rail took us down to the bottom of the gorge
Back then, prospectors must have been every where.
Another Incline is going up
From the Incline Rail looking down the gorge.
