How Might We Save the Colorado River?
As the Colorado River gets overused, replenishing its dwindling water supplies could be as straightforward as piping in water from other U.S. river basins. This idea of moving water from places where it's considered plentiful to dry regions that need it isn’t new. In the 1960s, a billionaire California industrialist pitched his idea for the North American Power and Water Alliance, which imagined a continent-sized network of water pipelines in the spirit of the U.S. highway system.

'Parched,' a Colorado River podcast
The drought that has plagued the southwestern U.S. for more than 20 years is most obvious when you visit Lake Powell or Lake Mead. The Colorado River water that travels down there used to nearly overflow the dams that create the country’s two biggest reservoirs. But now, the water levels are so low that you can see the red and yellow rock that was once deep underwater. The drop has caused some cities to enact strict rules on water use, and consider new ways of getting water over the long term.

The end of Roe v. Wade has Colorado’s Western Slope prepping for more people seeking abortion access
On Friday, a crowd of more than 100 people gathered in downtown Grand Junction. Some held handmade signs, others wore face paint; there was more than one reference to wire hangers.

Omicron in Colorado: Treatment, testing, booster shots and more to know
Fueled by the fast-moving omicron variant, Colorado hit a new record for positive COVID-19 cases in a single day — 11,018 on Dec. 31. That was after two days of case numbers above 9,000.

First Day Hikes: Ring in the New Year with one of our favorite hikes around Colorado
The crunch of boots on packed earth, the piercing air and the sense of calm that comes when the new year is only a few hours old — for many Coloradans, the only proper way to start off another trip around the sun is with a saunter down a favorite trail.
