July 24: Colorado Springs to La Junta

July 24 was our second travel day. We departed Colorado Springs early and arrived at Royal Gorge in mid-morning. Royal Gorge boasts the highest suspension bridge in the world, crossing the canyon of the Arkansas River. From there, we rode to Koshare Kiva in La Junta, Colorado where we spent the night on the floor of one of the most interesting structures in the southwest.
