Catch the sunset where the Arkansas River enters the Pueblo Reservoir at Lake Pueblo State Park.

The sunset is great all around the park, but if you're looking for a bit of an adventure and one of my favorite unknown spots follow along below:

Entering the North entrance of the park turn right onto the gravel road right before entering the park gates. Continue down the gravel road through the prairie leading up to the water. Enjoy the sun coming down over the San Isabel Mountain Range in the background. When the road splits turn left, then at the second split make a right (You can explore all these gravel roads leading to different coves along the Lake, My route is just a suggestion!).

Put it in park, turn on some music and enjoy the sunset from your car or some lawn chairs.

For photographers set up your gear and enjoy the colors as the sun sets over the mountains and lake.

The dirt road is blocked off with rocks and a sign stating vehicles are prohibited from driving on unmaintained roads.

This is a great place to visit, but its against CO State Law to operate a drone in a CO State Park. Jake Sells is a con artist that scammed me and others in Pueblo. He lied to us all about being a legal commercial drone pilot. FAA is dealing with him now.

Mountain Bike Lake Pueblo State Park

The Basics: Pueblo Reservoir is one of the largest bodies of water on the Front Range, which isn't saying much, but in my opinion this is the best recreation area around Pueblo! Thanks to Southern Colorado Trail Builders, there are dozens of miles of well-maintained trails throughout 3 main arms of land that jut into the reservoir on its South side. This 13 mile ride is entirely on the middle p...

Phantom Canyon Road

Explore Bishop Castle

This adventure is a unique experience, perfect for the off seasons. Park along the highway on CO-165 in Rye, Colorado, cross the street and walk into the largest one man project in the USA. You’ll enter under the grand front gate and follow the path that leads to the castle. There you’ll find multiple ways to enter the castle. There will be a large steep staircase to your left on the exterior o...

Hike Tunnel Drive

This 3.8 mile out and back trail is a very easy hike but can have moderate to high foot traffic depending on the season and time of day. I recommend doing this hike early in the morning to not only beat the heat, but to beat the other hikers. What I love about this hike is the chance to see the train still running on the tracks, white water rafters going down the Arkansas River, and the unique ...

Drive Skyline Drive

Skyline drive is a one way scenic roadway mainly going north to south. The 3 mile drive takes you about 800 feet above Cañon City. It starts on the west side of 50, and ends in a residential neighborhood southwest of where it begins. There are multiple pull offs on the right and left side of the road that can accompany 3-4 cars each. The first pull off on the left of the road has multiple trai...

Hike Temple Canyon

Take 1st Ave heading south out of Canon City and you'll come to Temple Canyon Road. You'll take 7 miles of dirt road to Temple Canyon Park. It is free to enter and there is a decent campground there where you can camp for free for up to 14 days. The trail begins at Temple Ridge Campground. The trail switchbacks down into the canyon. Once you get down to the creek you continue to the right alone...
