3 days in Cañon City Itinerary

Part of Colorado's Royal Gorge Region, Cañon City straddles the Arkansas River.

Change things up with these side-trips from Cañon City: Florissant (Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument & Pikes Peak Historical Society Museum) and Cripple Creek (Mt Pisgah Cemetery & Bronco Billy's Casino). There's still lots to do: admire all the interesting features of Skyline Drive, snap pictures at Royal Gorge Bridge and Park, examine the collection at Royal Gorge Regional Museum and History Center, and stroll through Tunnel Drive.

For ratings, maps, other places to visit, and more tourist information, go to the Cañon City attractions planning website.

In November, daily temperatures in Cañon City can reach 58°F, while at night they dip to 33°F.
