Walking and hiking are excellent outdoor activities that offer numerous health benefits and can contribute to overall fitness and mental well-being.<\/p>\n

Colorado has plenty of warm and sunny days so be sure to take a few minutes, get outside and take a walk.<\/p>\n

Walking helps improve circulation, lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease. Walking and hiking engage multiple muscle groups, including the legs, core and arms. This can help tone and strengthen muscles and burn calories to help with weight management.<\/p>\n

Physical activity has been linked to improved mood and reduced stress. Walking and hiking outdoors, especially in nature, can reduce anxiety and enhance well-being.<\/p>\n

Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting a new exercise routine, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions.<\/p>\n

Here are some great outdoor locations in Pueblo and southern Colorado to walk, hike, ride or enjoy other outdoor activities.<\/p>\n

Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Pueblo\u2019s downtown area is outdoor fitness friendly. Just off I-25 at exit 98B is the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk. Learn about the history of Pueblo and the 1921 flood while walking or jogging the mile-long trail<\/a>, which is handicap accessible with multiple entry and exit points. Pets are welcomed and encouraged.<\/p>\n

Pueblo River Trail Levee System<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Pueblo\u2019s 30-mile-long trail system<\/a> got its start in 1976 as part of the U.S. Bicycle Route system established to celebrate America\u2019s bicentennial. Today, you can travel from Lake Pueblo to Colorado State University Pueblo on a well maintained and well-marked trail. There are plenty of places to stop along the way: the Whitewater Kayak Park, the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk, Union Avenue and Runyon Lake. Upgrades are underway for additional accessible parking lots and ramps to access the levee side of the river trail.<\/p>\n

Lake Pueblo State Park<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You don\u2019t need a boat to experience or appreciate one of Colorado\u2019s most visited state parks. Lake Pueblo State Park offers more than 15 miles of paved and unpaved trails<\/a> with moderate elevation changes. Trails above and below the dam areas are perfect for walking, hiking, biking and running and connect through the Nature and Wildlife Center into downtown Pueblo. Views of Pueblo Reservoir and the Wet Mountain range, especially at sunset, can\u2019t be beat.<\/p>\n

Pueblo West features some of the most accessible<\/a> and plentiful hiking, walking, and biking trails in southern Colorado. Paved, unpaved, and equestrian trails<\/a> link Pueblo West\u2019s neighborhoods and offer amazing views of Lake Pueblo State Park, Pikes Peak and the Wet Mountains. Some trails connect to Lake Pueblo State Park and the Arkansas River Trail system into Pueblo.<\/p>\n

Head west from Pueblo to the foothills of the Wet Mountains<\/a> and hike through towering ponderosa pine trees, blossoming wildflowers and abundant scrub oak. Intrepid hikers will reach the highest point in the park: The Fire Tower, a double-tier lookout built for recreationists in the 1930s with views of Beulah Valley, Pikes Peak and Pueblo Reservoir. Pueblo Mountain Park is 26 miles west of Pueblo in Beulah, Colorado.<\/p>\n

Lake Isabel<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lake Isabel is a hidden gem southwest of Pueblo<\/a> in the San Isabel National Forest. This 40-acre reservoir sits in a mountain valley on the border between Pueblo and Custer County near Rye, Colorado. Lake Isabel can nearly be circumnavigated along a flat, easy walking path with handicap access. Beyond the lake, there is an extensive system of well-maintained hiking and mountain biking trails stemming from the Lake Isabel Recreation Area into the surrounding national forest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
