Canon City at a Glance
Located an hour south of Colorado
Springs, Canon City is a popular vacation destination due to its many exciting
and unique attractions. Perhaps the most popular Canon City attraction is the
nearby Royal
Gorge Bridge and Park, which is home to the world's highest suspension bridge
that hangs 1,053 ft (321 m) above the Royal Gorge canyon. Many visitors enjoy
embarking on a two-hour scenic train tour across the bridge with the Royal
Gorge Route Railroad, which is considered to be one of the most spectacular
scenic railroads in the world. Other Canon City attractions include the Museum
of Colorado Prisons, which features 32 cells that are filled with memorabilia
from Colorado's early prisons. Dinosaur
Depot is an excellent educational destination for families, as it boasts the
most complete Stegosaurus fossil in the world, among many other fossil displays.
Every May Canon City celebrates the Music
& Blossom Festival, a three-day event that features the National Band Championships,
a parade and much more.
