Royal with altitude.

We made a day trip to Royal Gorge Bridge yesterday and it was certainly something different. The bridge is the highest suspension bridge in the world...

This is what it looks like from inside the cable car going across the gorge.



This is the cable car looking back from the bridge area.



Something a pic won't show is what it's like to be walking on the worlds highest suspension bridge when the wind blows and the entire bridge starts flexing, warping, bending, and swaying around like crazy as you are 1,200' over the rocks and river below.





It was a fun day for all.

Kayleigh, Sarah , and Adam...




Me and Angie..



We also rode the incline elevator to the bottom....all in all it was a nifty little day trip. ;)

Hey Slim,

Not sure what is better, a 'Royal with altitude' or a 'Royale with Cheese'. Both seem like good options, maybe a Royale with Cheese at the Gorge?

Looks like you guys had a good time, awesome!

We managed to fill that weekend up pretty good.

Estes park on Fri, Royal Gorge sat, and figuring out how to navigate 16th street mall on Sunday.

Not to bad at all...
