Today’s Outdoor Picture of the Day captures one of Boulder’s most distinctive foothills scenes: the rugged Red Rocks formations viewed from Sanitas Valley Trail. Rising above the surrounding landscape, the warm sandstone fins create a dramatic contrast against the trees, open sky, and softer slopes of Mount Sanitas. While Boulder’s Flatirons receive most of the attention, Red Rocks offers its own remarkable display of Front Range geology. The formations belong to the Fountain Formation, the same ancient rock unit that created the Flatirons and other famous Colorado landmarks. The sedi…
Fall in Boulder is beautiful. Fall in the mountains just west of town can feel almost unreal. For a few brief weeks, the hillsides turn brilliant gold, the Continental Divide rises above the changing forest, and the cooler air makes every hike feel more invigorating. Best of all, you do not need …

Fall in Boulder is beautiful. Fall in the mountains just west of town can feel almost unreal. For a few brief weeks, the hillsides turn brilliant gold, the Continental Divide rises above the changing forest, and the cooler air makes every hike feel more invigorating. Best of all, you do not need to cross Colorado to experience it. The classic Boulder fall getaway combines the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway with Brainard Lake, Fourth of July Trailhead, or Caribou Ranch Open Space. Add a warm meal in Nederland, and you have one of Colorado’s best autumn days. When to See the Fall Colors The…

Colorado’s most populous cities—Denver, Colorado Springs, Aurora, Fort Collins, Lakewood, Thornton, Arvada, Westminster, Greeley, and Pueblo—account for the bulk of families seeking Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for children with autism. The CDC estimates roughly 1 in 31 eight-year-old children are identified with ASD. Early, intensive, individualized intervention produces the strongest gains in communication, adaptive skills, and daily functioning. Colorado’s Health First Colorado (Medicaid) covers medically necessary ABA for children under 21 through EPSDT at no cost when authorize…

Look closely at the photograph. Two people are moving steadily up one of Boulder’s iconic Flatirons, side by side against an enormous sweep of tilted sandstone. The rock rises sharply behind them, the city stretches far below, and there are no ropes in sight. It is an extraordinary image—and a powerful reminder that the Flatirons must always be approached with respect. Seeing two people climbing together without ropes is unusual. Soloists generally move alone, while roped parties are a more familiar sight across the popular east faces. These people appear calm, deliberate, and comple…
According to MGMBet, the Denver Broncos win total has been set at 9.5 for the 2026 NFL season. On the surface, the number seems a little low for a team that went 14-3 last season and would have made the Super Bowl if Bo Nix hadn’t been nixed for the backward-throwing backup, Jarret Stidham. …

According to MGMBet, the Denver Broncos win total has been set at 9.5 for the 2026 NFL season. On the surface, the number seems a little low for a team that went 14-3 last season and would have made the Super Bowl if Bo Nix hadn’t been nixed for the backward-throwing backup, Jarret Stidham. But after just squeaking by the New York Jets (13-11), New York Giants (33-32), Washington Commanders (27-26 in OT), and others, Vegas is betting that a tough schedule and a quarterback coming off a fractured right ankle have 9.5 wins priced accordingly. I’ll take the over. While the schedul…

Directly across South Boulder Creek from the Bastille stands one of Eldorado Canyon’s most recognizable and photogenic rock formations: Wind Tower. Rising approximately 300 feet above its base, this dramatic sandstone landmark greets visitors shortly after they enter the inner canyon. Its walls glow in warm shades of amber, rust and gold, changing character as sunlight moves across the rock. From the nearby bridge, Wind Tower creates one of the defining views of Eldorado Canyon State Park. Wind Tower is composed of Fountain Formation sandstone, the same ancient rock unit responsible fo…

Boulder has always understood something science is only beginning to explain. Whether it's camping beneath the stars in the Indian Peaks Wilderness, waking up to the sounds of Rocky Mountain National Park, or spending a long weekend in Colorado's backcountry, many people return home feeling calmer, clearer, and surprisingly refreshed. Now, research suggests there's a reason. A landmark study by researchers from the University of Kansas and the University of Utah found that people who spent several days immersed in nature without phones, computers, or other electronic devices performed…

Motivational Monday: You’re Not Just Starting College—You’re Joining a Place That Changes People Good morning, Boulder. This week, thousands of new students will step out of cars, unload boxes and look up at the Flatirons for the first time. They think they are simply starting college. They are not. They are stepping into a place that changes people. According to the university, CU Boulder expects approximately 7,500 first-year students to move into its residence halls this fall. Move-in begins Friday, August 14, for students participating in pre-arrival programs. Interna…

When summer heat settles over Boulder and temperatures climb into the 90s, locals have something many cities can only dream about: cold mountain water flowing right through town.

But it isn’t the only place where Boulder residents and visitors can find a refreshing creekside escape. From the easy water access at Eben G. Fine Park to miles of Boulder Creek Path and the quieter surroundings of South Boulder Creek, these natural waterways offer some of the b…
