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.

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.
