We arrived in Canon City, Colorado today and checked into the RV park that is approximately 5 miles from the Royal Gorge. The mountains here have a reddish tint similar to Oak Creek Canyon, Arizona.

We drove back into Canon City late afternoon to visit The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey. Very good wine and reasonable. Holy Cross Abbey was built in 1924 using Gothic style architecture. It was built for the Monks and eventually used as a boys school that closed in 1985 and the Abbey itself closed in 2006. Currently the property is being used by many local organizations. The Abbey is also on the Register of Historic Places.
