5 days in Cañon City Itinerary

Kids will appreciate attractions like River Rafting & Tubing and Royal Gorge Bridge and Park. Change things up with these side-trips from Cañon City: Vindicator Valley Trail (in Victor), Florissant (Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument & Florissant Fossil Quarry) and Cripple Creek (Cripple Creek District Museum, Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine, &more). There's still lots to do: explore and take pictures at Skyline Drive, play a few rounds at Four Mile Ranch Golf Club, examine the collection at Royal Gorge Regional Museum and History Center, and get curious at Royal Gorge Dinosaur Experience.
