  Family Activity Backpacks!

     Discover our Family Activity Backpacks that visitors can check out at select parks for their journey along the trail. Libraries across the state are offering two "Check Out State Parks" passes, each for distribution with an activity backpack containing binoculars, brochures and other educational materials to library patrons. These packs help turn an ordinary hike into a learning adventure in nature! The interactive packs will include: two large bug boxes, magnifiers, various guide books (covering birds, insects, wildflowers and pond or tree life depending on the park), binoculars and a nature journal. Families can use the contents of the pack to let their imaginations soar or they can use some of the suggested activities for more structured exploration. The packs can help explorers of any age discover how fun the journey can be as they delve in for a closer look of the great outdoors. Activity packs may be checked-out at the park visitor centers or office for day use and returned before heading home or back to the campsite. (less) ... Read more

  Colorado's Natural Wonder

     With the completion of the brand new 14,000 sq. foot Visitor Center sitting on the very edge of the Royal Gorge, once again the park is open on a daily basis. In keeping with a national park look, the new facility's deck overhang gives spectacular views of the gorge and the Bridge. A large gift shop and restaurant with indoor/outdoor seating for 200, complete with large fireplace, face the Royal Gorge. The Royal Rush Skycoaster is the only ride not affected by the fire (extra pay feature - weather permitting and seasonal operation). The Plaza Theater and Historical Expo will be re-opened in the spring of 2015. In addition, the much-loved Water Clock and a new large children's play area with a carousel will be added to the park. Installation of a new gig-back aerial gondola, and a new zip line, a twin-racing Zip Rider (extra pay feature - weather permitting and seasonal operation) taking guests 2,300 feet across the Royal Gorge, will begin in October with completion slated for January. Look for the new Bridge View BBQ and patio area on the Southside of the park to be finished by Spring 2015. The historic undertaking of rebuilding the park after the Royal Gorge Fire 2013 has taken a little over a year and the park will continue to keep adding attractions and features for a Grand Opening in the Spring of 2015. Our Bighorn Mountain Top Lodge was not directly affected by the fire but we are currently utilizing this space internally. This facility will be available for rentals in 2015. Check out the website www.royalgorgebridge.com or facebook.com/royalgorgebridge for updates. (less) ... Read more
