Located west of Pueblo and southwest of Colorado Springs on Highway 50 at an elevation of 5,332 feet, Canon City is best known as the gateway to the Royal Gorge, a spectacular chasm cut by the Arkansas River and site of the world's highest suspension bridge. Those looking to indulge their golf passions can hit the links at Four Mile Ranch Golf Club, located on an old cattle ranch, or at Shadow Hills Golf and Country Club; both are 18-hole courses and have stunning views of the nearby Sangre de Cristo mountains. Because of its proximity to the Royal Gorge, Canon City has plenty of lodging options.
