Should Saunas Be Regulated as Part of Healthcare Infrastructure?

Saunas have long been associated with relaxation and tradition. In recent years, however, they have increasingly been promoted for cardiovascular health, stress reduction, detoxification, and even longevity.

Saunas have long been associated with relaxation and tradition. In recent years, however, they have increasingly been promoted for cardiovascular health, stress reduction, detoxification, and even longevity. 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…

In Boulder, food isn’t just about flavor — it’s about philosophy. This is a city where farmers markets feel like community gatherings, where menus shift with the seasons, and where diners genuinely care about where their ingredients come from. “Farm-to-table” isn’t a buzzword here. It’s an expectation. But not every restaurant that uses the phrase lives it. So who in Boulder is truly walking the farm-to-table talk? Here are the local leaders setting the standard. Blackbelly Market Founded by Top Chef winner Hosea Rosenberg, Blackbelly has become one of Boulder…

It’s one of those classic Boulder moments — quiet, dramatic, and completely unforgettable. Located just west of downtown, Red Rocks Trail is accessed from The Peoples’ Crossing (formerly known as Settlers Park). In 2021, the City of Boulder officially renamed the area as part of an effort to better reflect the broader history of the land. While longtime residents may …

In a city where dining out can easily climb past $20 per plate, true buffets have become rare. Boulder is known for high-quality restaurants, but not for traditional all-you-can-eat experiences. That’s why one long-standing spot continues to stand out. Kathmandu Restaurant II quietly operates what may be the most consistent and dependable buffet in the city. And after hosting company meetings there and returning again and again, it’s hard to argue otherwise. A Real Buffet — Not Just a Marketing Term Always Available on the Buffet: • Fresh Salad• Rice Salad• Seasonal …

On February 15 of this year, at the age of 95, Robert Duvall died. To say he had a good run is a gigantic understatement. Duvall was married four times, adored the tango, used his celebrity for good causes such as helping women and children in Argentina, and by all accounts was a solidly good guy. As great as all that is, we’re here to focus on Duvall’s acting. He was one of the greats,* and not in a movie star, John Wayne kind of way, though Duvall worked with him. He wasn’t a method actor in the Robert De Niro kind of way, though Duvall worked with him, too. In fact, to give you an …

Monday mornings in Boulder carry momentum. Runners are already on the trails. Students are heading to class. Entrepreneurs are opening laptops before the sun fully clears the Flatirons. This is a town built on ambition, movement, and possibility. Marianne Williamson wrote, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.” In a community filled with high achievers, that idea feels especially relevant. The real challenge is not whether you are capable. The challenge is whether you are willing to fully own that capability. Gro…

Featured Trail of the Day: Homestead & Mesa Loop Not every great Boulder trail requires a summit. While Mount Sanitas and the Flatirons attract the early crowds, the Homestead and Mesa Trail Loop offers something quieter and just as powerful. It delivers open space, steady movement, and perspective without the intensity. After living in Boulder for more than 30 years, I’ve learned that the most meaningful trails are not always the steepest. They are the ones you return to when you need clarity. This is one of them.

There are Boulder sunsets — and then there are Sawhill Ponds sunsets in winter. Last night’s sky over Sawhill Ponds delivered one of those unforgettable Front Range finales. A light dusting of snow rested quietly along the shoreline. The ponds were still. The grasses shimmered. And as the sun dropped toward the Continental Divide, the entire western horizon ignited in shades of gold, rose, and deep alpine blue. Winter sunsets in Boulder feel different. The air is crisper. The light seems sharper. With just a trace of snow on the ground, every color reflects brighter, bouncing off the…
