There Is A Sunset Gondola Ride In Colorado... And You Are Going To Want To Do It

By Annie | Published September 05, 2017

When you think of taking a romantic gondola ride, which areas come to mind? Venice? Greece? The Venetian resort in Las Vegas? Basically any European town (plus Sin City), right? Come to find out, we here in the Centennial State have a sunset gondola ride of our own… and you are going to want to do it:

Tucked away in the heart of Pueblo lies the must-visit Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo (or Pueblo Riverwalk); a "32 acre, urban, water based recreational environmental education Riverwalk amenity that is publicly owned and free of charge to all populations within the region."

Originally proposed to the city in 1995, "Pueblo's Happy Place" is considered to be the gathering spot for city residents that features popular excursion boat tours...

...and plenty of world-class options to choose from.

While we recommend partaking in everything that the Pueblo Riverwalk is famous for, we also recommend checking out this little known activity that you can also do on the historic Arkansas: taking a slow and romantic gondola ride.

Running from May through October, the Pueblo Riverwalk gondola rides feature Gondolier's that will either sing to or tell you all about the area's rich history, making for a unique experience you will not find anywhere else.

Gondola rides at the Pueblo Riverwalk cost $20 (for up to 4 people) and can even be customized with sunset tours and romantic dinner packages! For more information, please visit the Riverwalk's website.
