The Sangre de Cristos and Wet Valley

Day 3: The Wet Valley and the Arkansas River

We drove north from Gardner, parallelling the Sangre de Cristo Mountains on the east side. This range includes several 14K peaks. Tomorrow we'll see these from the west side when we go to the Rio Grande valley
 
 
Past the Wet Valley you come to the Arkansas river. The rock formations along the river was beautiful.
 
 
The Royal Gorge was beautiful. We didn't go across the suspension bridge, since the admission price was pretty high, but we enjoyed the county park next to the amusement park and took in the view from above the gorge.
