River Walk at Pueblo City, Colorado

Our first stop today was the River Walk at Pueblo City. It was a beautiful day although a bit on the warm side. 

Wikipedia states that: "The historic Pueblo City Riverway is a river walk in the US city of Pueblo, Colorado, along the Arkansas River. The river walk was constructed as part of an effort to attract tourists and trade to the city Its construction was inspired by the San Antonio Riverwalk in the city of San Antonio, Texas.

Pueblo was founded near the confluence of Fountain Creek and the Arkansas River. After a flood in 1921, the river was diverted to Pueblo Reservoir. The original riverbed was excavated as part of an urban renewal project, and the river was again rerouted The project continues to be improved and expanded."

Unfortunately, we came on a Monday and the boats don't run on Mondays. That also meant we were about the only ones walking around although most of the restaurants were open.

It is a beautiful walk.

On the way back we stopped to see the memorial to veterans in front of the Convention and Visitor Center.
