Some things I haven't figured out: I can't find a name Pike gave the Gorge on the 1806 expedition, and I can't find who originally named it the "Grand Canyon of the Arkansas", or why or when the name was changed to "Royal Gorge". It's obviously 19th century, since the accompanying photo uses both names, but I'm not sure what the full story is. -- ESP 04:51 22 Jul 2003 (UTC)

[edit] On the Bridge
Standing on the bridge is an exciting experiance. It will never rock from side to side always up and down
[edit] The Train Ride
This slow going train ride is exciting. But what on earth is the point. Slowly there and slowly back. The view of the bridge is awsome. But still JORDAN R.
[edit] The Park
You only have to bring 2 things money and your camera. A carousal is ok. And the lunch is fine. You can travel across the tram across the gorge. Or on the train that goes up and down the wall.
[edit] Go Fast Games
Someone should point out that these have been controversial ever since one sky jumper died during a stunt when he hit the bridge at 90 mph.
