Hi All

Yesterday we got clean, showers, laundry and the inside of BWB.

Kind of like Spring cleaning, at least for the BWB

Then with sunshine, mild temps and a light breeze

we headed up to Royal Gorge Bridge and Park.

Both of us had been there before, I with my Dad about 50 years ago

and Millie with Carissa about 15 years ago.

The attraction has changed a lot.

The descriptions I read led us to believe it would be a big time tourist trap.

What is there is all new within the last 5 years 

since a fire in 2013 destroyed most of the buildings.

I was surprised at the security in place, made me think of an airport, minus the x-ray machines.

The facility has been well done.

It included a restaurant, bar, and snack shacks in areas around the grounds.

There is a Zip line that goes across the gorge and a large swing that goes out over the gorge

both of these cost $$ above the entrance fee.

The entrance fee gives you full access to all of the grounds, the bridge, a playground for kids

and unlimited rides on the gondola that crosses the gorge.

The grounds were designed to handle large crowds, which we did not have.

The views are awesome.

All in all I thought we got our money’s worth, spending the better part of an afternoon

Riding the gondola, walking the grounds and watching people on the rides.

Walked across the bridge (the main attraction) 

had a bite to eat and wandered our way back to the BWB.

Quiet evening at home and looking at plans for tomorrow.

Today planning to do Skyline drive, Holy Cross Abby Winery, 

top off the fuel tank, pick up a few groceries and get the BWB ready to travel.

High (elevation) in Colorado..............

Make your day great

Tom and Millie
