E nānā i ka 'Grand Canyon o ka River River' ma ke kaʻa
E hoʻolālā iā Colorado e like me ka poʻe minia i hoʻohanaʻia i: ma o ka holo kaʻa ma nā mauna nani. ʻO ka Royal Roads Railroad ua paniʻia nā mea kaʻa ma waena o ke kahawaiʻo Royal Gorge ma ke kahawaiʻo Arkansas mai ka makahiki 1879. E hele ana ma Denver a me Rio Grande Western Railroad.
ʻO kēia ke kaʻaahi kaulana loa o Colorado a me kahi meaʻoi aku i makemakeʻia ma ka wahiʻo Colorado Springs. ʻO ka mokuʻo Trains i kapaʻiaʻo ia kekahi o nā mokuhana kiʻekiʻe oʻAmelika.
Ma waho o nā manaʻo (e lawa ana, a ma o lākou iho, e hoʻohui i kēia holo i kāu list o ka bilike hele), ua hāʻawi ka train i ka meaʻai a me ka hauʻoli i nā holo lio, e like me ka mea pepehi pepehi kanaka i nā lā Lāpule, nā kaʻa hekili a me ka Santa Cruin Train ka hoʻoilo. Aia kekahi mau hanana kūikawā, e like me ka hoʻolauleʻa Oktoberfest a me ka brunch o ka lā Mother.
ʻO ke kūʻokoʻa kūʻokoʻa, kaʻohana, a me ka nani o Royal Gorge train,ʻo ia ka mua ma Colorado e hāʻawi i kaʻainaʻaina a me kaʻoihana kiʻekiʻe. ʻAʻole mākou e kamaʻilio ana e pili ana i kahi kaʻa maʻamau e hāʻawi ana i kahi meaʻai. Heʻelima mau kīʻaha likeʻole a meʻehā mau kī. Hoʻohanohanoʻo ia i ka holo kaʻa holoʻokoʻa piha piha o ka moku.
ʻO kēia holoʻaʻole ia he poʻomanaʻo poʻomanaʻo aʻaʻole nō he holo holokino likeʻole (ʻoiai aia he kahua hoʻokipa ma ke Royal Gorge itself). ʻO kēia kaʻa holo kaʻaahi e pili ana i ka mālamaʻana i ke kahawai a me kahi'āpana o ka moʻoleloʻo Hawaiʻi.
Kahi e hopu ai i ke aʻo
E hopu i ka Royal Roads Railroad i nā lā a pau ma Canon City, Colorado, ma ka Santa Fe Depot, kahi papa ma kaʻaoʻao hema o ke Alaloa 50 a me kekolu.
ʻO Canon City kahi 45 minutes mai Colorado Springs aʻelua hola mai Denver.
Hoʻopukaʻia kahi kaʻaahi i Malakiʻo Kekemapa.
Kahi e hele ai nā Train
Ke holo nei kaʻaila ma ke kahawai, ma ke ala o nā pali'āpana 1,000-mau kapuaʻi o ka Royal Gorge. ʻO ka lōʻihi o ka holoʻana he 24 mile miletrip. Hiki i nā holoʻelua ke holoʻelua mau hola.
Ma ke ahiahi 6:30 pm mau holoʻahaʻainaʻelua a me ka hola hola. Hele nā luina mai Canon City a hiki i Parkdale, Colorado, ma lalo o ke alahakaʻo Royal Gorge.
Ka mea eʻike iāʻoe mai ke aʻo
ʻO ka poho lapalapa kahi mea nui ma kēia huakaʻi. ʻO ke alahaka hana paʻa (ʻae, hiki iāʻoe ke hele i kēlā me kēia manawa o nā lā a me nā hola), i kūkuluʻia i ka makahiki 1879, he mea hoihoi. Aia ia ma kahi o 955 kapuaʻi ma luna o ka honua. ʻO ia ka alahaka kiʻekiʻe loa ma ka'āina aʻo kekahi o nā 20 hebedoma kiʻekiʻe loa ma ka honua. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo,ʻo ia ke alahaka kiʻekiʻe ma ka honua, a hiki i ka naloʻana o ka mahalo i kahi alahaka ma Kina.
Eia kekahi, e pale i kou mau maka no nā holoholona hihiu, e like me nāʻaeto a me nā hipa nui.
No ka Royal Gorge Canyon
Kapaʻia ka Royal Gorgeʻo "Grand Canyon o ka muliwaiʻo Arkansas." E kipa aku i ka Royal Gorge inā makemakeʻoe i nā manaʻo kūkala (a ināʻaʻoleʻoe e makaʻu i nā kiʻekiʻe). Ke kūkuluʻia nei kēia pīhili pākele 360-acre a puni ke kapa, ma nāʻaoʻaoʻelua o ka paila kuhi hilahilaʻole. Inā makemakeʻoe eʻimi hou i ke keʻo ma hope o ka holoʻana o kāu kaʻa, hiki iāʻoe keʻike iā ia ma o nā holo moana ākea a loaʻa paha kahi hauʻoli ma luna o ka "skycoaster" a iʻole ka zipline.
