After we got to the park we went over the largest suspension bridge in the world. It was scary because all we were walking on were old wooden planks with really big cracks in between them. And because we were 1,053 feet above the Arkansas River!
Then we ate some nachos and corn dogs and we fed a squirrel a jalapeno. It bit Sammy’s finger! We also watched a movie about the Royal Gorge.
Then we went and saw some animals. We saw some big horned sheep, buffalo (one was white!) and elk.
Next we started going to the world’s longest span aerial tram. Mom and I were a little scared because it's 1,100 feet above the canyon floor and there was a storm coming. But we all went on it and it was actually really fun. We got a 360 view of the canyon!
Then we went on the world's steepest incline railway (the Royal Gorge is famous for the world record I’m guessing ) It was really cool. We went to the bottom of the canyon and we got a close up view of the Arkansas River.The last thing we did was go on a weird little train ride (it had a lot of cheesy jokes) and we went on the carousel. I won of course! Derek kept on horse hopping. It was a great way to
end a great day.-Jessi
