Summary: Great views. Peaceful. Spacious home. Great fire pit. Hiking trails all around the area. Highly recommend Royal Gorge Rafting (Royal Gorge trip and ask for Allen) & Extreme Zip Line Combo -- an awesome day. Bear Basin Outfitters (horse ride) was very transactional - there may be better options in the area. Royal Gorge Park was worth the trip.
