Colorado Springs Vacation - Day 6

Today we visited the Royal Gorge Bridge in Canon City, CO.


We did a little geocaching along the way. It brought us to the edge of the gorge.


Randy looking over the edge. You can see the bridge in the background.


There were beautiful views everywhere you looked.


Riding the Ariel Tram across the gorge. Just ignore Mr. Pouty face
.

Looking down from the tram at the Arkansas River at the bottom of the gorge. You can see the railroad track right next to the river. We would love to ride that train, but we were traveling out of season.

Nathan riding across the bridge.


Nathan on the bridge. One great thing about traveling out of season . . . nobody is around. We had the bridge to ourselves.


Walking on the bridge.


Alone on the bridge.

This was an interesting vacation with Nathan being sick. We had fun, but can't wait to get back home. We plan to drive straight home tomorrow. There's no place like home, especially when you have a sick kid!!
