 To the Traveler:
The times have certainly changed since 1883, but Royal Gorge Country remains virtually unchanged. This is wild country, with a character all its own.
The beautiful rugged diversity of the land makes an indelible impression on the mind©ˆs eye. It is not one bit less spectacular today as it was when I arrived in 1881. Early settlers here spent much time working in the mines and on the land, but the opportunities for recreational activities in the modern era abound in endless variety.
I bid you warm welcome... to my home; to this unique Colorado treasure... Royal Gorge Country. - Joshua Porter, an 1880's settler in the Cañon City area.
