"Why in God's name would anyone want to know walking routes in Pueblo?!?"
If you said that when you saw this, this blog is NOT for you. Pueblo, Colorado is hot, dry, (and muggy at the same time), sprawling, and there are major service gaps where a person who needs a drink or needs to pee will have to walk at least a mile for a remedy. Pueblo pedestrians are hard core by nature.
If you are looking to buy a house in Pueblo, or if you're looking to vacation here, these routes can be life savers. If your car broke down, they can be even more so. Railroad tracks, drainage ditches, the river, parks and large private properties section the city into a bunch of smaller areas that tack extra miles onto every drive. Walking is actually one of the beast ways to get around the city, but you don't see many people doing it.
The reason is that many of the foot routes are combinations of streets, trails and open spaces. There is a G-route* through every district and into every other, though, and once you get the concept, you'll find that 20 minute drives are actually ten minute walks.
And that is what this blog is all about.
Throughout the summer of 2013, we're going to scour the city for the best sites, sights and ways of passage that Pueblo, Colorado has to offer. Save gas, melt the fat off your ass, and walk Pueblo.
*G in this case is for gangsta. Once you know the G-routes, you know the way.
