What To Expect

Royal Gorge Bridge and Park

Look down into the breathtaking Royal Gorge as this tour takes you over America’s highest suspension bridge nearly 1000 feet above the Arkansas River. Exclusive access through the south entrance to the Royal Gorge Bridge and Park and to the top of Fremont Peak allow you to see and experience true Colorado beauty.

Skyline Drive

Skyline Drive is a scenic roadway in Cañon City, Colorado. It was built by inmate labor in 1905.[1] The road starts from U.S. Highway 50, with a gradual incline up the side of a ridge. When the road crests, it winds, climbs, and falls like a roller coaster until near its end, where a scenic outlook overlooks both the city (east) and the highway (west). The single-lane, one-way road rises about 800 feet above the surrounding terrain. There are no guardrails despite sharp drop offs, and the drive is about 3 miles long.

Temple Canyon Park

Temple Canyon road winds over the Royal Gorge anticline through the ancient hunting grounds of the Ute tribe. The canyon road passes "The Temple" but you have to know where to look. Fossils can be seen along the road with other geological wonders.

All sales are final. No refund is available for cancellations.

We did not know what to expect before the tour but it was worth the time. Got a lot of Colorado and Canon City history, combined with a geology review and great views of the Royal Gorge that only comes from a tour. Highly recommended. Scott was our guide and made the experience!

We came to Colorado for a family wedding, so we only had a couple of extra days to sight see. So picked the Royal Gorge 1/2 day tour since it seemed to cover a lot. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The guide was very informative & we saw lots of things that we wouldn't have seen traveling on our own. I would highly recommend this tour.
