PROXIMITY TO THE ROYAL GORGE
The Royal Gorge Dinosaur Experience is situated on U.S. Highway 50, just 4.5 miles by car from the world-famous Royal Gorge, which is one of Colorado’s deepest canyons. Visitors can enjoy the Royal Gorge Bridge & Park, where they can experience the country’s highest suspension bridge (956 feet above the roaring Arkansas River), gondola rides, zip lines and the Royal Rush Skycoaster. Click here for more information.
PROXIMITY TO THE Arkansas River
When it comes to white-water rafting, paddlers and adventurers flock to the Arkansas River—Colorado’s premiere white-water river—for a wild ride that takes them through the shadowy depths of the Royal Gorge and over the state’s best rapids. For information about the area’s leading rafting companies that provide many different guided rafting trips on the mighty Arkansas, click here.
