[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3734279, member: 7900"] A bit more on the Royal Gorge Bridge area. [url=https://terrymiller.smugmug.com/Colorado-Beauty-and-Attractions/Royal-Gorge-Area-Canon-City-CO/Royal-Gorge-Area-August-2015/i-2hCKgtX/A][img]https://photos.smugmug.com/Colorado-Beauty-and-Attractions/Royal-Gorge-Area-Canon-City-CO/Royal-Gorge-Area-August-2015/i-2hCKgtX/0/77e00d9e/X2/DSC_9751-X2.jpg[/img][/url] In this next image, one can see the "station" where the aerial tram stops to change riders. Just beyond the tram cars one can see some people out towards the end of a deck. That is the area where the zip line riders finish their ride. The stepladder there is what is used to get the "zippers" off the cables.
