During our Thanksgiving Holiday visit to my son's in Colorado we took a day to celebrate our Anniversary with a ride on the Royal Gorge Route Railroad in Canon City, Colorado. This is a very beautiful, historic site as seen in the below photos.  The Royal Gorge Route Railroad is considered to be one of the most scenic train rides in the world. The train takes you on a 24-mile journey through the 1,000 foot deep Royal Gorge, alongside the raging Arkansas River, where you can observe Bald Eagles, Blue Heron, Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep, Mule Deer, and flora, native to the gorge.
