The rescue happened on the west side of Pueblo at 22nd Street and Tuxedo Boulevard.
The two 22-year-olds who were rescued say they wanted to go "exploring" and wandered under the bridge.
"That was when the rain started pouring in and I was like, we need to get out of here immediately... My instinct was - I'm going to die," said Matthew Robert Montez after he was rescued.
