Find out for yourself
why this flavorful southwest city was named one of the nations 4 "most
livable cities" by Partners for Livable Communities, a Washington D.C.
non-profit organization.
Perhaps one of the
state's most faithful chronicles of life in this area is the Colorado
Historical Society's El Pueblo History Museum. Located on the actual
site of the El Pueblo trading post built in 1842, the museum is now
in the heart of downtown Pueblo.
Take a stroll in
the Union Avenue Historic District along a mile of painstakingly restored
buildings. Shop the outdoor exhibits of southwestern art and pottery.
And, be sure to walk through the grand old Pueblo Union Depot with its
mosaic tile flooring, polished wood wainscoting and stunning, stained
glass windows.
History aside, the
people of Pueblo spend the summer outdoors. And the fall, winter and
spring! The mild climate of southern Colorado means bicycles and golf
clubs stand at the ready year-round...
The 35-mile river
trail system is a paved ribbon that stretches from Colorado State University
- Pueblo on the city's north-eastern fringe clear down to Lake Pueblo
to the west, where surreal limestone cliffs rim the 60 mile shoreline
of the reservoir. Meanwhile, back on the paved trail, bicyclists, in-line
skaters, joggers and power-walkers populate this recreational roadway.
New along the Arkansas
River is Pueblo's urban kayak course. Located between the 4th Street
Bridge, and Union Bridge at Corona Street in Downtown Pueblo, the course
features seven fun and challenging holes, with easy access and parking
at either end.
