Great story and good guidelines for a multi-day swimming journey. I really appreciate examining your story.

Re: Visit Colorado: Hot springs in Glenwood Springs, yes, but roller coaster on way

Wramblin_Wreck — Mon, 07 May 2012 17:53:21 -0000

Rosi has been my favorite breakfast diner for many, many trips to Glenwood. Always worth a visit. Expect a waiting list.

In my opinion they are overcommercializing Glenwood Caverns. Glenwood Springs is not the big city and does not need big city attractions. Keep the small town quality please. But maybe that is just an old curmudgeon frustrated that the world is changing.

Re: Red Rocks to close once a week for private health series, and some fitness fanatics aren’t happy about it

This has got to be the worst decision that Red Rocks and the Denver Parks Department has ever made. I am extremely angry and upset by this stupid and greedy decision. What part of "city-owned, open-to-the-public" don't they understand? I've personally been running the stairs at Red Rocks for the past 15 years and I really enjoy my early morning workouts without having to pay a fee. One of the great things about Red Rocks is that it’s free to the public to exercise. I see many people (sometimes 200 plus people) working out between 7:00am and 8:00am on Saturdays, it's a beatiful thing. Everyone can do there own thing and go at their own pace. Someone always has to destroy a good, healthy, positive thing! Nothing like taking a 50 or 60 tradition of free exercise and ruining it by trying to make a buck. Thanks Denver Parks Department! Thanks for taking away my early morning workouts on Saturdays and my opportunity to enjoy a fun, free and healthy activity.

Americans are very unhealthy and overweight and by charging a fee to exercise is just yet another reason for people NOT to exercise. I hope someone in the Denver Parks Department will realize what a bad decision this is and open it back up to the public to anyone that wants to exercie FREE OF CHARGE!

I think Ricardo told me that they're not disclosing the figure at the moment...

All aboard! What a splendid idea. When I traveled to Napa Valley, I took a wine train dinner tour but it left a lot to be desired. This sounds like a perfect way to explore the area, enjoy some good tunes, and relax in a party-ready atmosphere. I'm adding it to my list of things to do when I visit the region.

More people just looking for a reason to complain in my opinion. I've been to red rocks at 7 am on a Saturday...I don't see how this will affect more then 10 people tops. The trails and space around the theatre will still be open...it's just the actual theatre that will be closed for 1 hour. The amount of people this is benefiting (i.e. people who signed up who don't yet have the confidence to go workout on their own in front of other fitness finatics) will far outweight the 10 - 20 fitness buffs who get there early on a saturday morning. The impact is minimal in the grand scheme of things.

Denver Parks owns and runs Red Rocks, Denver Parks and Rec is one of the people putting on this event.

I don't like the idea of closing it entirely to the public at the best time of the week to be up there. Bad decision. I would think they could work around people just like everyone else does but it's about money I guess. Very disappointing.

Horrible decision by the city.

My hunch is that public perception damage will far exceed any cash benefits of the exclusive access fitness program.

How much is Health One paying to rent the facility?

So they could also call CO the top state for taking your pet in for regular check-ups at the vet; in other words, being good pet owners?! I mean, that's basically how they would get the data.

Dogs need exercise. Both my neighbors have a dog, they think just letting out in their little back yard is sufficient. They both have fat dogs. I don't own a dog. Why? Because I don't have time to care for one an animal deserves.

Ms Hatch Chile Queen,
I love the NuMex Big Jim as much as anybody. And Prof. Nakayama was a genius. But there are some varieties that do much better in Pueblo, particularly the Mirasol. Mirasol has incredible depth of flavor and has better heat than the Big Jim or Barker.

Love that area. Use to live in Pine. After I moved, the High Meadows Fire destroyed the house I lived in. :-(

The pepper pot is the best! The Lytle's have the niche on creating Hatch's Record Breaking Big Jim Chile! They are one of a few that still grow NEW MEXICO varieties! GO LYTLES!

Sorry, fbog, Hatch is where all the stars and moons align for Chile! Our soil and climate are the key ingredients to Hatch's Chile status. A town with the population of around 2000 people wouldn't have become famous if it weren't for Jim Lytle and Roy Nakiyama creating the pepper people drive for miles to purchase! The flavor is not the same when planted elsewhere!

There are many, but the best thing to do is go to the Chili & Frijole Fest in September and sample it all.
Pueblo also has a lot of great Italian restaurants that use a lot of chiles.

Finally! Were they unearthed unscathed? It's a good thing no one knew there were kayaks there, or it could have been easily taken.

Hatch, NM and its Green chiles are world famous and so very delicious! Try some Green chiles on just about anything!

Any Pueblo restaurant recommendations of the green chile persuasion?

The Hatch region may grow more chiles, but Pueblo, CO grows better chiles.
