What does Canon City have to offer? Well how about the worlds highest suspension bridge. This bridge spans the Royal Gorge, built in 1929 the views from this bridge of the gorge below are breath taking.

But before you think it is only standing on a bridge for a few minutes looking down at the Arkansas River, you have another thing coming. How about a breath taking plunge off the Royal Rush Skycoaster, you will be free falling at 50 mph out over 1200 feet above the Arkansas River.

Of course you would want to take a ride on the world's steepest Incline Railway at 45 degrees. Here you go to the bottom of the gorge and see the rushing river and wave to the rafters going by. Rafting, you want to go rafting? Just see one of the may rafting companies in the area. Also you can ride across the gorge on a high wire, if you dare.

Don't forget to take the kids and kids at heart to the petting zoo, there you will see elk, bison, including a unique white bison, big horn sheep and more. They also offer free burro rides.

Then there is shopping, plenty of places to get something good to eat, everything from ice cream, cotton candy, funnel cakes to BBQ and hotdogs.

If you are into camping, there are plenty of places in the area to camp or park your RV.

This is defiantly a Five Star Family trip worth taking.
