Royal Gorge Route Railroad. Incredible views, good lunch. Makes me want to re-read From the River to the Sea which covered a lot of building the track here.
Steven Holland @manton wonderful! We teach our geology field school right there (Cañon City). Be careful — a wave on the Arkansas River pilfered my watch!
JL Gatewood The railfan in me approves and is highly envious of this postcard post. Where and how can I ride here?
JL Gatewood @starrwulfe oops, just read the thread. Cañon City, CO. I need to bucket list this one for sure.
Manton Reece @starrwulfe Definitely recommend it, especially if you’re a fan of rail history. Just beautiful.
Maurice Parker we stayed in Cañon City for a few days on our annual winter van trip this year. It is on the short list of places to move to. Real estate prices aren’t nearly as crazy as other laces in CO, but you still have all the scenery and activities.
Manton Reece @vincode Cool! We really liked it, although we were only there for half a day.
