Pueblo - South Central Colorado
Enjoy the 267 days of sunshine Pueblo has each year! At the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains, Pueblo has historically been known as a natural crossroads and melting pot for diverse ethnic groups since the dawn of time. Ute, Cheyenne, Arapaho and Kiowa tribes as well as Spanish troops, mountain men, and gold seekers would often come to do business. In 1806, Capt. Zebulon Pike built a log fort -- the first structure built by Americans in Colorado. Eventually the railroads found their way to Pueblo and in the late 1880s the town built smelters.
The Pueblo Reservoir sits on semi-arid plains encircled by limestone cliffs and buttes with mountain vistas. The man-made lake, with its clean, cool water and great fishing along its 60 miles of shore, is ideal for sailing.
