Several years ago, some simple Benedictine Fathers had a dream…
a dream of a fine winery located on the grounds of the historic Holy Cross Abbey in Canon City, Colorado. Today, that dream is a reality, and the staff at the winery proudly invites you to share in the vision of those dynamic and innovative monks. Since July 2002, The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey has been attracting visitors from all over the world. Located on the pastoral and serene grounds of The Holy Cross Abbey, nestled against the spectacular backdrop of the Wet Mountains, the winery and tasting room are shining examples of what draws visitors to Cañon City and Fremont County.

Fishing
The Arkansas River in Southern Colorado provides the best fly fishing opportunities in the Southern Rockies. The Arkansas has more and better public access than most trout streams. If you like fly fishing for wild Brown Trout in a scenic environment among Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep and Eagles, then you will love the Arkansas River.
Royal Gorge Anglers' offer guide services that include leisurely floats through meadows and scenic canyons to a wild fly fishing adventure through the Royal Gorge.
If you need fishing report information please go to our daily reports through the links on the left, the interactive river map or our fly fishing blog, where guides post the results of trips from that very day. If you need fly fishing information for the Arkansas River then we are your one stop shop.
