Beyond the interstate . . . beyond the hustle of Colorado’s exciting Front Range cities . . . there is a world of natural beauty and off-beat surprises. This land beckons visitors with a sense of adventure. Come visit the real Colorado. See Frontier Pathways Scenic & Historic Byway. Full of vast natural and cultural variety, this part of southern Colorado was home to the nation’s earliest explorers, trappers and traders. Hardscrabble, Pueblo, Greenhorn, Buzzard's Roost, Fowler’s Lookout are names that evoke the earliest European settlements in the Rocky Mountain West. In the 1870s, homesteaders, ranchers and miners established their roots in the foothills, surrounded by the lush Wet Mountain Range and the jagged Sangre de Cristo Mountains. At the same time, the largest steel operation in western America settled in Pueblo. Colorado Fuel and Iron company (CF&I) attracted families from all over the world, leaving Pueblo with a diversity of cultures and intact ethnic neighborhoods. This rich history is infused throughout the Frontier Pathways Scenic & Historic Byway. In addition, the Byway offers over 100 miles of scenic beauty, numerous museums and recreational opportunities. Both a state and national Byway, the tour climbs from the high plains, through Hardscrabble Canyon, by breathtaking mountain vistas, to quaint mountain towns, returning to Pueblo’s upbeat urban atmosphere.
