Braving the Soaring Eagle Zipline at the Royal Gorge Bridge in Canyon City, Colorado, with Juliana, Joanne and Marc's daughter. (Summer of 2012)
The Soaring Eagle Zip Line, the highest zip line in the world, opened in the Spring of 2012. Perched on the 1,000 foot granite wall on the northside of the bridge, the ride consists of two zip lines carrying two riders each, and will zip 700 feet over canyon walls from 1,000 to 800 feet above the Arkansas River, and then zip back at approximately 30 miles per hour. Unlike a typical canopy type zip line tour, riders are secured into a "chair" that gives guests freedom of movement for the arms and legs. This ride is very family friendly and is a perfect thrill ride to enhance the wonderful experiences that the Park already has to offer.
