Royal Gorge

Back in September we celebrated my 32 birthday by taking the family on a much needed family trip to Colorado Springs. While we were there we went to the Royal Gorge Bridge and had a great time. The weather was perfect and we loved every minute of the time together.




The is the Bridge that you walk across and on both ends of the bridge there are many things to do, the best was just to walk around and look at the amazing views of the canyons.





I love this picture, the girls were having a great time walking and talking with their daddy that they did not even know that I had fallen behind to take a picture. (so cute)


Presley went on a Donkey ride with Ellie.


Ellie loved the petting zoo and the girls wanted to take home a goat so bad.





One of the attractions there is this inclined train that takes you to the bottom of the Gorge. You get in this caged train and it takes you down this very steep straight down tracks to the river below.


Way down there you can see another caged train that is blue coming on the way up while we are going down.









You can also take the Gondola from one side of the Gorge to the other, Ellie loved looking out the Gondola over the edge to way down below, she was not scared at all.

We took our family to the Royal Gorge a couple of years ago. It was beautiful. We got stuck at the bottom of the incline rail way. Someone had thrown up on it and they had to shut it down to clean it. It was a very long wait. Lauren (who was 6 at the time) and I rode the thingy that is kind of like bungee jumping. It sends you soaring out over the gorge. It was a blast!
