Roy Romer grew up in Colorado during the Dust Bowl and Great Depression. At 98, he had much to share with Phil Weiser about truth-telling. Where do I start with this extraordinarily rich conversation on Tuesday afternoon between a former Colorado governor and the future governor?. Phil Weiser will be...
Beneath Denver’s solar panels, a spice nicknamed “red gold” is yielding a promising harvest that could help Colorado farmers earn more with less water. At Colorado State University Spur, horticulture graduate student Reece Bailey is investigating whether saffron could become a profitable addition to the state’s farms. His experiments in the campus’s urban gardens and green roof research areas are testing how the crop handles Colorado’s climate, how much water it needs, and whether growing it beneath solar panels improves production.

Colorado Voters Ban Gender Surgery for Minors
Colorado mountain leaders believe a new U.S. Forest Service rule could benefit efforts to build affordable housing on federal lands. The Forest Service announced late last month that the finalized rules for its administrative site leasing program would take effect on Dec. 2. The program, established in the 2018 Farm Bill, allows agencies to lease or exchange underutilized administrative properties — such as ranger stations, storage facilities and office spaces — to third parties including local governments or private partners.

The Colorado Department of Transportation provided an update on Tuesday surrounding ongoing state highway closures, recovery and repair efforts in and around Pagosa Springs.
The 2026 Colorado midterm election results are in with the exception of one race that still remains to be called. As of Monday, November 9, the race between challenger Eileen Laubacher and incumbent Lauren Boebert, who are competing to be Colorado’s Representative to Congress still has yet to be called by the AP, though with 98% of the votes in and Laubacher leading by almost a percentage point, it is nearly impossible for Boebert to make up enough votes to win. On Monday afternoon, Laubacher declared victory and attended congressional orientation, joining incoming lawmakers in Washington, DC. The number of votes in this race is currently outside the state’s 0.5% margin of victory to qualify for a mandatory recount, and though Boebert could request one, she would be responsible for the costs involved with the recount should she fail.
Data: Colorado Association of Realtors ; Chart: John Frank/Axios Colorado's housing market took a nosedive in October, with cautious buyers contributing to a sharp decline in sales and more seller concessions. Why it matters: High housing and financing costs are forcing sellers to lower prices, sidelining buyers and keeping homeowners stuck in place. State of play: Colorado recorded 6,079 home sales in October, down 19% from a year earlier, while pending contracts dropped 17%, according to the latest Colorado Association of Realtors report. The statewide median sale price slipped 1% to $545,000, offering little relief for buyers. New listings fell 8.9% and active inventory was down 2.4% to 33,455 properties. Reality check: Home sales typically slow this time of year. Yes, but: October's decline was far steeper than the average 4.2% drop through the first 10 months of 2026, underscoring the market's weakening momentum heading into the new year. What they're saying: "Many sellers continue to put greed in front of logic and buyers continue to put personal finances in front of home purchases. In the middle is an entire industry getting iced out of what was once a very busy market," said Colorado Springs-area real estate agent Patrick Muldoon.
For quite some time now, Coloradans have been subject to prolonged droughts, historic wildfires and unprecedented heat.

One mountain tavern on my list started life back in 1937 as a humble sandwich shop, then added a dance hall during the Big Band Era. I love that a burger spot once had its own swing-dance soundtrack. Another stop has a water-powered prayer wheel and artifacts brought straight from...
The founding and history of Colorado is dominated by a few natural resource-based industries that defined much of our economy and our politics for decades and decades — mining, ranching, outfitting and oil and gas. I call it Old Colorado. My ancestors grew up in Old Colorado and participated...
Few meals spark as much debate as Thanksgiving. Most families have a non-negotiable dish that would cause a revolt if omitted from the menu. So what does Colorado reach for? Only In Your State tracked down every state’s Thanksgiving favorites by looking at which pie and which side each state searched for most in November. […]
One school in the Colorado mountains teaches fine leather bookbinding in intensive one- and two-week courses. Another has been teaching cowboys and curious beginners to hammer hot steel since 1996. I love that these skills never quite went away. The list gets even better from there. You can learn silversmithing,...
