Hold your breath and hang on tight as you descend in the Incline Railway car in a natural gulch, as the towering granite walls lead you 1,550 feet down to the roaring Arkansas River. This wonder is the world's steepest Incline Railway and was designed by the same engineer as the bridge. It's just one of the world class attractions and engineering feats you'll marvel over at the Royal Gorge Bridge & Park, near Ca�on City, Colorado. When you look up from here, the bridge appears as a delicate ribbon across the gorge. Enjoy the cool spray of the roaring river while rafters brave the class 5 rapids. Standing next to the Arkansas River, one can only imagine what it must have been like with guns blazing and dynamite exploding as early railroad officials hired Bat Masterson to protect their crew and materials in the Royal Gorge War.
