Local Attractions

Royal Gorge Bridge Colorado is known for its spectacular scenery. And there's no place more spectacular than the famous Royal Gorge...where the world's highest suspension bridge soars 1,053 feet above the Arkansas River. A thrilling aerial tram and incline railway add to the experience. In fact, an entire park has grown up around the bridge, combining quality entertainment with unparalleled natural beauty.

Royal Gorge Route - Train Ride Canon City & Royal Gorge Railroad is fun for the whole family. This Train ride through the Royal Gorge operates year round. The Royal Gorge Route follows the most famous portion of the old Denver & Rio Grand Western train line, 24 miles round-trip, from Canon City to Parkdale and return. The two hour train ride takes passengers through the "Grand Canyon of the Arkansas" on an unforgettable journey over the famous Hanging Bridge, which clings precariously to the steep granite walls of the Royal Gorge, towering over 1200 feet above. Ask KOA staff to make your reservations.

Royal Gorge Scenic Railway Board the Royal Gorge Scenic Railway for a 3 mile, 30 minute ride to the rim of the Royal Gorge. Sometimes you’ll be greeted by a friendly deer or chipmunk as you wind your way through pinons and pines toward a breathtaking view.
