Hang On for a Moment!

Today is National Hanging Out Day and while this day is actually about celebrating the benefits of hanging your clothes out on a clothesline, we decided to celebrate this day a bit differently here at the museum. Instead, we’ve decided to show you some photos of people “hanging out” on the hanging bridge in the Royal Gorge!
