Welcome to Colorado, where the locals vs. tourists saga in the San Juans now comes with restricted hiking trails and (probably) some low-key territorial glares. Businesses in Ouray are cashing in, while residents are wondering if they need to start wearing “I’m a local” badges just to avoid a tourist ambush on the trails. And if that’s not colorful enough, Brighton’s cannabis scene is booming, Denver workouts now come with a side of existential crisis, and Boulder’s art scene has gotten so abstract it might bend your brain. It’s safe to say, things are far from boring around here.
- Locals vs. Tourists: The San Juan Showdown
Picture this: the idyllic San Juan Mountains, where locals once roamed free, now swarmed by tourists like bees to honey. Ouray’s businesses are singing praises as the tourist dollars roll in, but locals? They’re clenching their eco-friendly shopping bags, praying their slice of paradise doesn’t turn into a theme park. The town has started limiting hikers on popular trails—because nothing screams “natural beauty” like a velvet rope and a bouncer. Read more. - Triplet Births: A Dying Breed

Move over yoga and pilates, Denver’s latest fitness craze has arrived: workouts that double as philosophical debates. Imagine breaking a sweat while discussing the meaning of life and the merits of kale. It’s all about finding your inner peace while doing lunges, and pondering whether burpees are the true path to enlightenment. Just remember, it’s not about the destination—it’s about the calorie burn along the way. - Boulder’s Art Exhibit: Mind-Bending Masterpieces
Boulder is once again redefining art with its latest exhibit, where interactive installations are the star of the show. It’s an art lover’s dream—or nightmare—depending on your tolerance for abstract thinking. From digital displays that play mind tricks to sculptures that defy gravity, it’s a feast for the senses and a challenge for the brain. Visiting this exhibit is like solving a Rubik’s Cube: frustrating, yet oddly satisfying.
