Colorado Springs is home to the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame and the Museum of the American Cowboy.
Two multimedia presentations document the sport's evolution. Heritage Hall contains exhibits of historic
and modern cowboy and rodeo gear and the Hall of Champions honors athletes from each rodeo event.
The Royal Gorge Bridge is the world's highest suspension bridge. The bridge spans nearly a quarter mile
offering a spectacular view of the Arkansas River over a thousand feet below. The thirty-five-passenger
aerial tram gives a view of the entire canyon. The world's steepest incline railway goes to the bottom of
the Royal Gorge. Seven Falls offers the sight of water cascading 300 feet down a sheer granite cliff. An
express elevator travels to the Eagle's Nest Platform for a magnificent view of Seven Falls.
The Anasazi Indian culture is kept alive through the Manitou Cliff Dwellings. This village was built into
a cliff side and explores the culture, architecture, and artifacts of these Southwest Indians. Native
American dancing is performed daily during the summer months.
