If the waterfalls weren't high enough for you, head next to the Royal Gorge Bridge. Spanning a quarter mile, the bridge may be crossed by foot or by car, or you can opt to take a trolley ride across the gorge. There is much more to do at Royal Gorge, however, than just cross the bridge. There is an incline railway, a theater with live entertainment, eateries, and shopping. Then steer your way to Buckskin Joe Frontier Town and Railway, located near the Royal Gorge Bridge.
Shows run several times daily.
The best times to visit the Academy are between 9 a.m. and 5p.m. during the school year, although, visitors are welcome at any time. Start at the Visitor Center, which is located off exit 150B from I-25. The center is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. For example, at 1750 E. Boulder St. , you will find the U.S. Olympic Training Center, where you can visit the Hall of Fame, see exhibits and displays, and purchase official Olympic merchandise. The history buff will love the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum, located at 215 S. Tejon St . in the old courthouse.
