Next it was on to the Royal Gorge Park. The park is on both sides of the gorge.
We went on the longest incline railway all the way to the bottom of the canyon. They pack you in like cattle, the trip down made the children a little nervous.
At the bottom we saw some people rafting that had 2 people go overboard. Because of the sheer cliffs the 2 guides were having to do some rock scrambling to find them.
They did get to them and here they are emerging from a tunnel in the cliff wall to a cheer from the crowd on our side of the gorge. 
The other folks nervously waiting. 
The children especially enjoyed the carousel, petting zoo & burro rides. Funny, we could have done all those at a local fair.

The aerial tramway across the gorge was also fun. We walked across the bridge first & took the tram on the way back, much faster. Here's a picture from the tram.
Kelly's waving for the camera because the kids refused to go out on this platform.
