The few bikers to make trek to Royal Gorge
Great view!
No free ride.
Day 20, I tired to savor every second of our last day in the mountains. The Arkansas river treated us all morning down the canyon as we left Salida. Took a detour, which include an extra 10 miles of climbing up to the Royal Gorge. It was worth the time and effort. The view from the highest suspension bridge in the country with a 1,000 foot drop to the river below was awesome. Lunch in Canyon City and a 35 mile leg into Pueblo set us up for a rest day. Temperatures climbed to over 100 degrees, I guess it is preparation for the days to come. We hit the flat plains and hot temperatures for the next 8 days. Going to spend our rest day in Pueblo visiting with family from Denver and lounging around.
