The third annual 'Stars' gala is back for another year of glitz, glamour, and fun. Join us as we celebrate not only Cañon City's 150th anniversary, but also its unique and storied history with Hollywood film-making. From Buckskin Joe to Grape Creek and Main Street, the Royal Gorge Region played host to dozens of films and movies during the early part of the century. We'll bring history and the present together in a spotlight on our area's iconic, cinematic beauty. Dress in your glamorous Hollywood best (black tie) and join us at the historic Theater at the Royal Gorge Bridge - the only building saved from the 2013 Royal Gorge Fire.

The jewel of the Royal Gorge Region’s trail system – the Royal Gorge Trails – is a stunning system of singletrack trail. Trails range from green to black and flowy to technical. With a significant amount of elevation gain, you’ll have the opportunity to climb through the hills surrounding the north rim of the famed Royal Gorge over the Arkansas River. Catch views (and your breath) along 20 available miles of unique singletrack.
