Canon City - Fort Royal Stables
1 Block East Of The Royal Gorge Turnoff
Canon City, CO 81212
The weather was so fine and my first horseback ride was just perfect! Uncle Don said that I've always wanted to do this since when I was what, 4 yrs old? haaa so finally, I did it! I love how we were surrounded by mountains and we did not go round in circles! We had a pretty scenic one-hour ride - towards the mountains and away from it.
Uncle Don & Aunt Patsy
Raven & me
Raven is perpetually hungry... just like me. I think we got along pretty well. Although he DID try to be funny and walk me into the bush!!
Trio
You are so beautiful.

Canon City - Skyline Drive
This was great fun! There were dino-trails along the Skyline Drive and I was really thrilled by the size of each dino footstep and the fact that we were walking right underneath history!!
Canon City - Royal Gorge
4218 County Road 3A
Cañon City, CO 81215
www.royalgorgebridge.com
According to the website, this is the highest suspension bridge in the world, with the scariest Skycoaster ride.
Height above the Arkansas River: 1,200 ft
Speed: riders reach speeds of up to 80km/h.
A week ago, U.Don asked me in an email if I'm afraid of heights and I thought that was for flying. Turned out that, they were sending me into the sky in a much crazier way than I had imagined. The tagline on the ticket read: "Goodbye Earth, Hello Sky". WOAH!! I freaked out! I said NOOOOOooooooo way!
Well, looking back now, I'm REALLY glad that A.Patsy prompted me again on our way out (A BIG THANK YOU). Yes, we did it, OUR very own adrenaline rushing adventure! I can finally put sight & sound to the word "breathtaking" - an experience with a view that was enough to last a lifetime. Spectacular!!!

Canon City - Holy Cross Winery
3011 E. Highway 50, Cañon City, Colo. 81212

From Denver, take Interstate 25 south to Colorado Springs, then Colorado 115 southwest to Penrose and U.S. 50 west to Cañon City . The winery is 12 miles east of the Royal Gorge.
Holy Cross Abbey continues the tradition of the Catholic Church’s long history with grape-growing and wine production. We went for wine tasting at the Holy Cross Winery and bought a bottle of their Merlot =) The sitting area among the trees was so charming. OOOoooo I think the picnic bag (with the wine glasses fastened within) is such a perfect set to go with the Summer Gatherings book. Infact, everything in the shop made me happy. CHEERS!

Canon City - Holy Cross Abbey
We were on Interstate 25 the entire day from Fort Collins to Canon City, passing by Loveland, Denver and Colorado Springs. This is the north-south highway that runs from New Mexico to Wyoming.
By the time we arrived at Canon City, it was quite a gloomy evening but our spirits were still high. There wasn't much we could do by then so we went walking around and we stumbled across the Holy Cross Abbey. I love how it's tucked away between the trees. Very exclusive.
U.Don explained that with the gargouilles and spaces made for patron saints, this was built as a catholic church in 1924. Over the years, things might have changed and it's been converted to become an abbey.
