I recently visited the Royal Gorge Zip Line Tours in Cañon City, Colorado. The Royal Gorge is a breathtakingly beautiful canyon with steep granite walls that reach up to 1,250 feet in height. I had an exhilarating experience flying over the canyon on the zip lines at the Royal Gorge Zip Line Tours. The tour consists of nine zip lines that offer a unique perspective of the canyon and the surrounding mountains. Each zip line is named after a different bird and offers a different experience. Some of the zip lines go over the Arkansas River, which runs through the bottom of the canyon. The guides at the Royal Gorge Zip Line Tours were knowledgeable and ensured that we were safe throughout the tour. The experience was truly unforgettable.
