👍👍 We had an amazing extreme tour with the best guides in the valley, Zack and Tarzan. Felt 100% safe the entire time, Zack was super great, very engaging and pleasant, an all around epic dude that I am honored to have been able to zip with a few times. He’s a great leader a look up to in the zip guide...

Royal Gorge Mountain Park
Park
😐 The vistas are incredible. The gondola ride is short but quite enjoyable. The zip-lining is exhilarating and safe but barely worth the ridiculously high price. This place is NOT an all day adventure. I'd say do visit if you're open to paying high prices for admission and rides. Definitely grab some...

Via Ferrata - Royal Gorge Bridge & Park

👍👍 Apparently I was the first one to purchase a “mini tour” and it was incredible! I didn’t want to climb with others in a group because of different skill levels so this ended up working out perfectly. Tom was great and got some good pics!

👍 Beautiful area and private space, with clean bathrooms and office. Plus Willa the dog was SO sweet and cute at the front desk. The walkways were clean and safe, while also having lights to lead the path when it got dark. Only thing I would change (if even possible) is somehow diverting different tem...

👍👍 Why pay $30 per person to walk across the bridge? Park at the trailhead and hike/walk to the beautiful views afforded by the trail. Don’t want to walk? Then drive to the view (clearly marked) and take a short walk to the view. The trail itself is beautiful and there are two toilets both at the trail...
