The Will Rogers Shrine of Light is entered from the Zoo and further up the mountain. We missed being able to see in on the Zoo day by a few minutes due to a lightning strike. We ventured back on our way to Canon City.
Way better view than from the zoo
Garden of the Gods
Headed off to Canon City
First stop: Royal Gorge
Vote: Biggest waste of $ on the trip
this was close enough to the side for me
all 50 states are represented on the bridge
Reid REALLY wanted to be a Junior Ranger
They were sworn in!
After the bridge, we headed to Royal Gorge Tours for our zip-lining excursion.
While we waited, the boys found the hammocks and a few zzzzz's.
Daddy found a beer and a view
Zip lining with Royal Gorge Rafting company - super great group. It rained on us the first 5 zips and then cleared out by the end.
We started our rafting overnight trip on Wednesday morning at 8:30.
campsite for the evening - in between rain storms
playing pretend baseball
starting day two after a night of rain and crowded sleeping arrangements
Here is a map of Colorado - we rafted from just west of Salida to just east of Canon City. That's 55 miles in case you were checking! whew...
Our first order of business after getting in to our car after two days of being wet was to drive through Sonic and start a movie in the car!
We then headed to Lakewood to meet our baseball friends!
