Royal Gorge

The Royal Gorge is home to America’s bridge. Similarly to the hard workers of America, the bridge reflects hard work and success. Beginning in June 1929, the bridge required a team of 80 men to complete the engineering feat over the span of 7 months. The Royal Gorge Bridge spans nearly a quarter mile from rim to rim over the Royal Gorge and 956 feet over the Arkansas River. Celebrate Independence Day by walking across America’s highest suspension bridge. Visitors can also find a piece of home by spotting their state’s flag flying along the Royal Gorge Bridge!

Whether you marvel at the beauty of the Arkansas River from above or beside it, you’ll more than likely see some 4th of July rafters. Nothing says freedom like hitting the white water rapids.
