A lot of 'Air' time

---

We got to the Royal Gorge park around 2. It was not as busy we thought it would be. There are several 'air' rides included in the gate ticket price.

The aerial tram crosses the gorge at nearly 1100 feet. It is only a 4 minute trip but Gary was petrified. I took several pictures of the tram and the gorge below. We didn't partake in the 'air' coaster. Didn't care to 'bungy' over the gorge. We did take the vertical tram to the floor of the gorge. It was quite breezy at the bottom but I guess it must be to create the rapids people on flimsy rafts ride.
We also crossed the suspension bridge. It is quite the bridge with the names and flags of all 50 states. It got the jitters when a vehicle would drive past and 'shake' it a bit.

There is also a wild life refuge. We saw some elk and buffalo. Didn't want to try the petting zoo as we have two of our own 'zoo' pets.

We pull out tomorrow and head for Mesa Verde National Park and Four Corners.
