Cool! I love this kind of stuff. I've never seen the Pueblo res, but now I think it's definitely on my list. I see a lot of native pinion pines there too! Thanks for the photos, McGowdog!

(and unbelievable, I found this post before Jossie got to it!)

Thank you Vegas! I thought you might appreciate the terrain.

Technically, I think Joss commented on it when I accidently dropped it into the Pueblo SoCol forum, then I noticed the mistake, but not in time!

Now I got a couple of guys helping me out down here!

Wish I could find time to go up to Monarch this year and maybe take some pics of the slopes like you did.

Beautiful pics, man! When I lived there, I remember going to Lake DeWeese, is it, over just north of Westcliffe in the winter. Completely iced over. Ice fishing. The sun was high, and although there was no chance that day of any thawing, the sounds of the cracks as the ice shifted under the glaring sun was quite enough to get my butt off the ice. While I miss all that, well, I'm too old, in my book, to even think about doing that again.

cool pics! Is the reservoir far south enough that it never freezes over? I noticed boats still in the water. Around here they are out of the water by mid October at the latest. What a shame - grew up in Colorado & only made it to Pueblo twice.

Ummm... At an elevation of about 4900, I don't remember seeing that pond freeze over, but I'd imagine it'll get a bit icy around the edges over the next two months. When you're dealing with Colorado, it's not so much a matter of north/south as it is altitude. Lake San Isabel to the south probably has a couple of inches of ice on it.

I'm not an expert on this, but bodies of water lag behind our typical air temps. For example, the San Francisco Bay area doesn't experience their warm "summer" type weather until about September, right? So the water temps probably dip after the cold January and February months... So February to March would maybe the time to go ice fishing. But not on this pond. Maybe people could leave their boats in year around. I'll have to ask around on that.

It was cold around there Saturday when I took the pics! Mostly because the the arctic wind from the north. Oh, and there were penquins too! Just kidding.

Alright....who was the smarty-pants who repped me?
How was I s'posed to know 4,900 ft. in elevation wouldn't freeze over a lake?
I don't think I'm over a 1000 ft. in elevation here in upstate NY...(? - I s'pose I should find out)
...but we're so far north, if I had nuggets, they'd been shattered ice cubes by now!
I'm pleading brain freeze as my excuse!

Gotta love the huge cliff jump at Pueblo Reservoir!

MOD EDIT: Original links no longer work.

There are several cliff jump video's on you tube for Pueblo Reservoir.
