Royal Gorge;Canon City, Colorado

While in Colorado we visited Royal Gorge Bridge! The view was so pretty but it was so scary. I'm not a fan of heights, especially when on one of the largest suspension bridges in the world, were you can see through the cracks to the BOTTOM and the bridge SWAYS!

The Royal Gorge bridge hangs 955 feet above the Arkansas River. To put that into perspective, a football field is 360 feet long.  Se we were standing almost 2 football fields long! Its hard to see in this picture, but there is actually a car driving across this bridge, directly in the middle of the bridge. That's how big and massive this gorge is!
It was pretty scary!
Colton had no fear on the bridge. Crazy kid!
We thought this was a pretty funny sign. I guess people have actually tried this? Oh do you see the sky coaster in the back ground? You can actually swing over the gorge on this sky coaster. Umm... no thank you!

It was such a pretty day and thankfully not to windy!

It's a loooong way down!


C3 had to represent the 3 states we have lived in. Oklahoma!

South Carolina!

and Florida!

The pictures of the bridge make me nauseous I would not be able to cross it- esp if it sways!
