August 5, 1995: Entrance to Royal Gorge park/tourist area. I presume this is in the area burned in the fire.
Wildfires in Colorado have claimed the area around a major tourist attraction, Royal Gorge Bridge near Cañon City, Colorado. The bridge is still intact but slightly damaged.
When my family went there in 1995, Royal Gorge was billed as the highest suspension bridge in the world, but this story from CBS’s Denver affiliate says it is now in eighth place but still highest in the U.S.
The news reports say that practically everything around the bridge, including the tram across the gorge, is a total loss.
Very sad.
