THE ROYAL GORGE
The Royal Gorge, the mother of the Arkansas
River, is a gigantic slit or canal in the Rocky
Mountains, cut from the summits of the lofty
peaks to the very foundation stones. At the
bottom flows the river and is built the D. & R.
G. W. Railroad, an engineering feat looked upon
as well-nigh impossible. A span wide in places,
and rising 3,000 feet perpendicular to the clouds,
it presents miles of scenery equaled in few places
on the globe. The swinging bridge is suspended
from immense steel supports buried in the gran-
ite walls on either side.
