About More of Colorado
This entry covers Colorado destinations away from the mountain resort corridor, including Cañon City in the south and Sterling on the northeastern plains. Cañon City is home to the Royal Gorge Bridge and Park, a suspension bridge 955 feet above the Arkansas River, and to outfitters such as Raft Masters that run whitewater trips through the Royal Gorge canyon. Sterling, the seat of Logan County, has a historic downtown, the Overland Trail Museum, and North Sterling State Park on a 3,000-acre reservoir.
