Wellness centers advertise measurable health benefits, and users treat sauna sessions as part of their preventive health routine. But when a recreational facility begins to present itself as a health-supporting environment, does the regulatory conversation change? Should saunas remain purely lifestyle amenities, or should certain aspects of their operation be evaluated through a healthc…

Each year, thousands of wildfires sweep across landscapes, consuming forests, grasslands, and communities in their path. While lightning strikes and other natural phenomena account for some of these blazes, a staggering percentage stem from human activity. Among the most preventable yet devastating categories are wildfires caused by negligence.

Most people arrive in Boulder with a clear picture already in mind. The Flatirons in the background, Pearl Street in the foreground, and the sense that everything revolves around hiking boots and smoothie bowls. That picture is not wrong, but it misses what actually stays with you. The real surprises appear between destinations, in moments that feel unplanned and oddly personal. Boulder reveals itself quietly, and that contrast often catches first-time visitors off guard. Boulder Feels Smaller — And More Intimate — Than Expected Despite its reputation and national visibility, Boulder …

In Colorado, entertainment usually comes second to everything else. Outdoor time, work, family, and community tend to set the schedule. Entertainment fills whatever time is left. That order matters. Instead of planning evenings around screens, many Coloradans look for entertainment that fits into the day they already have. If it feels demanding or rigid, it often gets skipped. Entertainment That Works With Active Days A typical day for many Coloradans starts early. It might include a run, a hike, a bike ride, or time outside before work. Even on quieter days, schedules are often full. By the…

When I first moved to Boulder, I had no idea how much this city would change the way I moved, lived, and even thought about transport.

Everyone around me seemed to have a routine that involved being outdoors. Some were hiking before breakfast, others riding to work, students cruising to campus, parents pulling trailers with kids inside — it was obvious that Boulder wasn’t just a p…

Boulder has earned a reputation for craft beer that borders on a local institution, landscapes dramatic enough to leave a lasting impression, and, of course, Chip, CU Boulder’s legendary buffalo mascot.
