Romantic getaways in Cañon City, Colorado can involve any number of experiences, from hiking and other outdoor recreation here where the Southern Rockies meet the High Plains to some bone-deep, side-by-side R&R. If you ask us, there’s no more romantic sort of vacation than a retreat for two at a luxury cabin or glamping tent—and that’s exactly what we offer here at Royal Gorge Cabins, putting the scenic views and world-class activities of Colorado’s Royal Gorge Region at both of your fingertips!
Romantic Things to Do in Colorado’s Banana Belt
Here’s just some of the possibilities for your lovebirds’ escape at Royal Gorge Cabins!
Desert Reef Hot Spring
Only about a half-hour from your cozy Royal Gorge Cabins accommodations, you and your special someone can be happily steeping in the deliciously warm geothermal waters of Desert Reef Hot Spring. Set in a secluded, rather mesmerizing desert-like landscape with views to the soaring Wet Mountains, this private, reservation-based soaking area offers unparalleled opportunities to fully bliss out—in your swimsuits or your birthday suits, given this is mainly a clothing-optional hot spring!
The Royal Gorge Route’s Dinner Train & Vista Dome Experience
Combine a romantic meal with dazzling views of the famous Royal Gorge of the Arkansas River on the Royal Gorge Route’s dinner trains! From Colorado Slow-Roasted Prime Rib to Vegetable Napoleon, and from expertly mixed cocktails and fine wine to sudsy microbrews, you’ll get to savor excellent on-the-go gastronomy, with anytime access to an open-air observation car serving up unforgettable looks at the soaring walls and whitewater roll of the Royal Gorge. The Vista Dome car takes things to another level, with options for weekend after-hours rides showing off nighttime starscapes and lit-up Royal Gorge Bridge.
The Holy Cross Abbey & Winery in Cañon City
The two of you can also make your way to the historic agricultural core of Cañon City and enjoy a private wine tasting or light appetizers at the Winery at Holy Cross Abbey, which calls home the grounds of a gorgeous 19th-century monastery and delivers swoon-worthy mountain views from its vineyards.
Make a Picnic Out of a Local Hike
From the Royal Gorge Rim and Temple Canyon trails to the Point Alta Vista and Beaver Creek routes, you’ll find yourself spoiled for choices when it comes to top-tier hiking trails in the Royal Gorge Region and Fremont County while enjoying our decked-out accommodations.
To really crank up the romance, pack a picnic for two to enjoy on the Canyon Rim Trail, which presents some incredible views of the Royal Gorge and its iconic suspension bridge, the highest in the United States.
Kicking Back Together at Royal Gorge Cabins
With so many choices for outdoor recreation, sightseeing, high culture, and more at your fingertips, you and your sweetheart certainly won’t be hurting for things to do on a romantic getaway at Royal Gorge Cabins. But simply marinating in rustic luxury at your cabin makes for pitch-perfect romance—not least when you’re sharing a meal together on your mountain-backdropped private patio!
