In May 2005, Rachelle and I took a vacation to Colorado. After visiting Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak, we continued sightseeing on our third day in Colorado by stopping to see Royal Gorge.
Royal Gorge
Royal Gorge was carved by the Arkansas River. Unlike the broad Grand Canyon, the Arkansas River cut a very narrow and steep gorge through the rock.
We began exploring Royal Gorge with a trip down the Incline Railway. The ride takes about 5 minutes inside a rather small cage. We had plenty of time to view the walls of the gorge as we descended to the river.

In May 2005, Rachelle and I took a vacation to Colorado. We began our trip by flying to Denver, and then driving to Colorado Springs to visit some friends who live in the area. The sky was overcast, so I didn’t take many photographs. Although, I did have the chance to take a few photos of Pikes Peak rising above the city.
We planned on spending the next day with some friends who live in Colorado Springs visiting Garden of the Gods.
