      I second it. Your new format with long vídeos and several stops is probably easier for you to edit. Filming and editing in one day will burn you out. So whatever it takes to keep you sharp, healthy, and not stress out over a deadline, is ok with me. Thank you Russ.

    My family was there in 1964 and took the incline down to bottom of canyon. I don't think they have it anymore. Then again in 1978 when they had the sky ride. Haven't been there since. Sure is expensive now and alot more to it. Doesn't look like you can drive on the bridge anymore. I did back in 78. Kind of scary. Thanks for the memories❤

We rode our RZR over the Continental Divide on a Polaris sponsored trip out of a dispersed camping trip close to Taylor Lake. Was really fun. St Elmo’s and Pitkin were awesome.Thanks again Russ!!

    The rails you saw at the Royal Gorge Bridge are the remains of a slant railway that used to take tourists to the bottom of the canyon where you could overlook the rail line. There is an interesting rail bridge that is hung from the side of the canyon. I took it to the bottom in the 1970s. There was a fire that damaged it and they have never repaired it.

    My second comment on this video Russ. Again this scenery is just beautiful, but at 74, I believe that I will leave the rapids, for the younger people, but I might enjoy a more leisurely ride, on a calmer river, with no rapids.

    Way back in the early 80s we made a trip to Colorado. Ironically it was about this time of the year, first couple of weeks of August. We went through Monarch Pass working our way down to Farmington NM. I can remember standing at that Continental Divide sign, and it sleeted on us going through Monarch Pass. It was August and sleeting, we couldn't believe it.

    When I was there in 2007 you could still drive across the bridge, it was full of tourists and cars going as slow as the tourists and nudging their way across the bridge, it was really something to stand at one end of the bridge and watch a car enter the other end and create a wave in the bridge that you could watch come toward you and then go under your feet and lift you up a foot or two as it passed under you, it was quite a thrill! The tram used to run at the time and you could take it down to the river in the morning and fish all day if you wished and then take the tram back up in the evening. What a place!

    I remember when I was a kid, there were big debates on television about rather or not to let people bungee jump off the Royal Gorge Bridge. I used to ride the cars that went up and down those rails , and there used to be a big ghost town there with gun fights, Gold panning , and a restaurant. Thanks for the trip down memory lane , what a beautiful state my home state is.

    The Royal Gorge Train travels along the Arkansas River from Canon City, CO and under the Royal Gorge Bridge. It stops near Parkdale, CO and then returns to the station at Canon City. It's a wonder scenic trip. The train has dining cars where you can eat get something or drink or just relax and watch from inside. Or you can go outside and hangout in open cars with nothing to obstruct the view. You should try it sometime if you like trains, it only takes a few hrs and gives you views you won't get any other way.
