What is at 11,300 feet you ask???

11,300 feet


Today was a major driving day, we drove form Ridgway to Canon City, home of Royal Gorge. We had to cross the Monarch Pass which was 11,312 feet another white knuckle drive. At the top of the pass there was quite a bit of snow but the sun was shining so the temperature was about 60.

We are camping at the Starlite Classic Campground and all I can say is that the scenery out the front window is beautiful, the campground leaves a lot to be desired.

We drove to the Royal Gorge and saw the span bridge, the Gorge is beautiful, than we drove into Canon City, a very pretty town with a beautiful river walk.
