CHAYCE LANPHEAR Photographer Lensman Chayce Lanphear was delighted to find a freshly painted football field when he arrived at Valor Christian High School in July. The crisp blue paint juxtaposed with the bold green turf gave the Denver photographer a dramatic backdrop. The fact that his subject was Broncos legend Ed Mc-Caffrey, profiled in this issue’s “Thy Holy Name” (page 42), only made Lanphear more confident the images would pop. But while the setting was ideal, the heat was not. “It was 100 degrees that day, and poor Ed was wearing long pants and a dark shirt,” Lanphear says. “Thankfully, we were able to keep him mostly dry.” Lanphear’s images in 5280’s December 2017 issue won third place for feature photography from the Society of Professional Journalists’ Colorado chapter. JULIE…

Whether Banksy is among the 60-plus artists adorning 25 blocks of RiNo with graffiti murals during the weeklong Crush Walls fest (September 3 to 9). The upcoming departure of Denver Public Schools superintendent Tom Boasberg, who will leave his post of 10 years to spend more time with his family—or maybe just escape district politics. A hike at Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge, which could open this month—unless fears (and a lawsuit) about the safety of the former nuclear weapons facility win out (the EPA gave it the all-clear). How you still know every single word of “Allstar” by Smash Mouth, who will take the stage on Taste of Colorado’s final night, September 3.…

If you let out a Beatlemania-level shriek when you saw the headliners for this month’s highly anticipated Grandoozy festival at Overland Park Golf Course, your reaction was more than reasonable. (Out of the loop? Kendrick Lamar, Florence & the Machine, and Stevie Wonder top the bill.) But be sure to look further down the lineup, where an array of local acts is positioned to impress. Grandoozy producer Superfly, best known for running Tennessee superfestival Bonnaroo, worked with regional agents and managers to recruit some of the buzziest bands in Colorado—including Dragondeer, Flaural, and Amzy, a Denver-based alt-rock trio that has spent four years dreaming of landing such a high-profile showcase. “We’ll be able to reach a lot more people, especially those who don’t think too much about local music,” says…

If you’ve ever saved an injured chipmunk or abandoned duckling, chances are you brought it to the Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation Center near Lyons. The 36-year-old nonprofit cared for more than 3,400 sick, hurt, or orphaned critters found by concerned Coloradans last year, making it the largest facility of its kind in the state. To support the organization’s work, party animals will gather at the UCAR Event Center in Boulder on September 7 for Wild Night, Greenwood’s most important annual fundraiser. (It brought in more than $150,000 in 2017.) After a buffet dinner, attendees bid on prizes, like a weeklong trip to Telluride or a Maui getaway, while sipping wine and locally brewed craft beer from the open bar. If you can’t swing $85 for a ticket but still want to…

The Mile High City’s lineup of Jewish-inspired delis nearly doubled when Rye Society Delicatessen & Picklery and Leven Deli Co. opened their doors (in RiNo and the Golden Triangle, respectively) in July. Now, with the High Holidays around the corner—Rosh Hashanah begins at sunset on September 9—it’s time to celebrate the new spots by pitting them against local deli vets in a battle based on four classic Jewish eats.* *We would have included bagels in this battle, but the rounds at Rosenberg’s are so superior that Rye Society and Zaidy’s sell them instead of making their own, and Leven, a modern-style deli, has eschewed bagels altogether.…

Blame it on Airbnb, the localfirst movement, or Instagram, but travelers today are increasingly uninterested in generic, cookie-cutter hotels. They crave lodging options with unique characteristics that communicate something about the locales they’re visiting, that go beyond offering just a place to sleep, and they’re willing to forgo brand loyalty and rewards to get that authentic vibe. “The experience economy has really taken full hold of the industry, and millennials are driving that,” says David Corsun, director of the University of Denver’s Fritz Knoebel School of Hospitality Management. Nationally and here in Colorado, the shift has forced big-box chains to develop hip brands that will appeal to a younger, lifestyle-oriented demographic as well as opened up the market to smaller, upscale boutique properties—sometimes in neighborhoods far from convention centers and…

Have you ever considered what it takes to get a hamburger onto your plate? Slow Food Denver, an organization that supports Colorado farmers and ranchers with efforts like this month’s Celebrate Local campaign, thinks you should. More than 80 percent of the beef in this country comes from the same four major companies. That beef is processed in industrial feedlots where the cows are often treated poorly; then, it has to be transported all the way across the country to a store. Producing that one burger could unleash about four pounds of harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. And that is not good for global climate change. So, yes, eating locally raised and grown food is better for the environment. Plus, it helps our fellow Coloradans who work hard to…

It’s the stuff of horror films: In the 1960s, Colorado State University researchers identified a disease feasting on deer’s brains. Fear increased as scientists learned more about the sickness, which also attacks moose and elk. Called chronic wasting disease (CWD), the disorder interferes with the stricken animal’s vital functions, making it more susceptible to malnutrition, degradation, and infection. Death typically comes after a painful two years. A Colorado Parks and Wildlife program conducted between 2015 and 2017 found that 16 percent of bucks tested in one deer herd had the disease—and if scientists can’t figure out how best to manage the affliction, it will continue to spread. But there is good news. Earlier this year, a team of ranchers, outfitters, and wildlife organizations formed the Colorado Chronic Wasting Disease Advisory…

When I first baked biscuits in Alabama, where I lived before coming to Colorado, I learned that the South’s beloved White Lily flour has a spooky texture, fine as talcum. In my hands (guided by an expert teacher), it yielded biscuits with an irregular, plopped-down shape and a texture that was as much pillowy as flaky. I also learned that a properly made White Lily biscuit is “praise Jesus” food, even for a nonbeliever even for a nonbeliever. One recent Sunday morning, I was put in a hallelujah mood when three of the genuine articles—same form, same texture—were served to me at Julep on Larimer Street, along with two just-so over-easy eggs and an abundance of milk gravy. The gravy, like the biscuits, was exemplary—thick but not to the point…

EST. AUGUST 2016 Thoughtfully tucked into Cherry Creek North’s revitalized retail zone, Sage Hospitality’s 165-room Halcyon hotel feels like the urban condo building you always wished you could afford to live in. The atmosphere is casual but hip; the ground-level restaurants are among the city’s best; and the decor details—charming welcome mats that say things like “You Belong Here” outside your room’s door; modern turntables with a small selection of vinyl—make you feel like you’re living inside a chic designer’s Pinterest board. GET A ROOM: If you can swing the substantial per-night outlay, book a terrace room king (starting at $509 per night), which gives you access to a large private balcony. ON THE MENU: You can’t go wrong with the on-site options here. Allow time in the morning for…

EST. AUGUST 2017 After hopping off the A Line train from DIA, visitors only have to roll their suitcases some 110 steps to reach the cabin-cozy lobby—wooden-slat-covered two-story windows, plaid upholstery, a flickering gas fireplace—of the Hotel Born. Giving the 200-room Kimpton property a palpable Rocky Mountain sense of place was a priority for local design firm Semple Brown; in fact, the first thing you’ll see when you open your eyes in the morning are the knotty pine panels that extend from the headboards onto the ceiling. GET A ROOM: Save your dollars for Union Station’s eclectic boutiques. Even the standard rooms, which start at $239, have plenty of natural light, thanks to full-length windows. Bonus: Tell the staff you’re bringing your pup (he’s welcome at no extra charge), and…

WHAT: Really, Really Cold Cheetos These goodies make you breathe smoke—like a dragon! The chefs use liquid nitrogen for the special effects; it’s as if Willy Wonka set up shop in Denver. Pair with a Butterbeer Float with Exploding Whipped Cream. WHERE: The Inventing Room Dessert Shop WHAT: Rattlesnake & Pheasant Hot Dog Better for you to eat a snake than the other way around. But if the thought of eating a serpent sounds questionable, you can smother it with toppings (try the Coney option for a scoop of chili with mustard and onions). WHERE: Biker Jim’s Gourmet Dogs WHAT: The Luther Burger It might look like your standard cheeseburger combo. But look more closely: Buns are out. Chewy glazed doughnuts are in. Yes. The buns are doughnuts. WHERE: Crave…

AT THE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF DENVER, your children will transform from students to global citizens. ISDenver is a multicultural, multilingual school, welcoming students from age three through eighth grade. Our inclusive, globally-minded community develops motivated, successful, and interculturally adept bilingual learners. Our curriculum is enhanced by local and international travel opportunities. ISDenver teaches a broad, balanced curriculum in all subject areas through two languages. The school’s unique educational model focuses on the benefits of the bilingual brain, taking advantage of the narrow window in which children are best able to learn a second language. Bilingual learners exhibit overall greater cognitive function; higher academic achievement in math, reading, and language usage; demonstrate greater empathy; and are ultimately more effective communicators. Our pre-K–fifth grade students learn both in and through French, Spanish,…

Pancakes can be polarizing: For purists, it’s buttermilk in the batter or nothing, and garnishes stop at real maple syrup and butter. Others hunger for fruity fillings, sweet sauces, and even whipped cream on top. (Pancakes are not ice cream sundaes, people.) But Eric Lee, the chef at four-month-old Wendell’s, a diner in Berkeley, has created a pancake to please traditionalists and innovators. His buttermilk-based recipe, lightened with whipped egg whites and infused with brandy, lemon zest, and vanilla paste, results in fluffy, flavorful griddle cakes practically the size of hubcaps; $11 gets you two of the behemoths. “I wanted Wendell’s pancakes to be gigantic,” Lee says, “so when the plate comes to your table, you’ll be crushed—not by a gut bomb, but by the value.” The only debate remaining…

On a glorious, clear-skied summer morning in Highlands Ranch, the sun still rising brightly in the east, Colorado’s pre-eminent high school football program has once again set about doing God’s work. Roughly 70 Valor Christian High School teenagers are practicing blocks, passes, and plays—drilling and drilling again in pursuit of continued superiority this fall. Adding to the vaguely militaristic atmosphere, almost all of the Eagles wear the same uniform: blue helmet, blue shorts, white T-shirt. Printed across the able shoulders of every player is Colossians 3:23, which references the Bible verse that reads, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” The Valor boys could very well be toiling for the Almighty, but their earthly masters are all that…

The boom isn’t over yet—or, at least, that’s the hope of these forthcoming hotels. The Sophisticate Even by Cherry Creek standards, the 201-room Jacquard Hotel & Rooftop (a Marriott Autograph Collection property slated to open this month) is swanky. Fine Italian bath linens and robes by Frette and a 75-foot-long private rooftop pool help guests live la dolce vita in Denver. The Behemoth With 1,501 guest rooms, 486,000 square feet of meeting and convention space, four ballrooms, and eight dining options, the muchdebated Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center near DIA, slated to open mid-December, will be a one-stop shop for travelers. It also won’t be a bad place for locals to catch a game on Colorado’s largest HDTV screen (75 feet wide by 14 feet tall) or enjoy an…

5280: What’s the first thing that went through your mind after you found out you won slopestyle gold? Red Gerard: It was pretty crazy, ’cause it was only, like, the third win of my career, so it was pretty unreal for it to be there. There wasn’t much on my mind other than being really stoked. What’s the coolest thing you’ve done since then? That’s a hard one… this may not be what you’re expecting, but probably spending the day at TaylorMade [a golf company] getting fitted for custom clubs. What was it like to deal with the instant fame after the Pyeongchang Olympics? It was definitely weird. For a while it was hard to go anywhere without people asking to take a picture. But I like being able to…

MOUNTAIN LION OR BLACK BEAR Do: Stand tall, raise your arms to look bigger, make eye contact, and talk loudly but calmly. Back away slowly. If it approaches, yell louder, wave your arms, and be ready to fight back with any sticks, rocks, or branches within reach. If you see bear cubs (no matter how cute), leave the area immediately; Mama Bear is probably close by and will be very, very protective. Don’t: Turn your back, run, or climb a tree. MOOSE Do: Run away and try to put an object, like a tree or boulder, between you and the moose. You can also climb a tree. Don’t: Let your dog run off-leash in known moose territory; moose are highly afraid of dogs and may charge or attack. RATTLESNAKE Do:…

▪ MONDAY Hazel Dell mushrooms from Fort Collins: Sauté and drop ’em on your pizza or burger. ▪ TUESDAY Tuxedo Corn Company sweet corn from outside the San Juan Mountains: Try grilling the cobs, shaving off the kernels, and mixing them with tomatoes, diced veggies, and some lime juice for a fresh corn salsa. ▪ WEDNESDAY Peaches from orchards in and near Palisade, on the Western Slope: They’re delicious sliced over a bowl of vanilla ice cream. ▪ THURSDAY Eggs from Red Hen Farms in Longmont: Omelet night! ▪ FRIDAY Rocky Mountain Fresh watermelon from near Lyons: Toss your melon (minus the rind) in a blender with tomato, cucumber, olive oil, sea salt, and spices for a bright “gazpacho” (chilled soup).…

School shootings feel scary and dangerous. You feel sadness because you feel they might get you. To be safe, I think we should have metal detectors and more security guards. Sometimes, I think school shootings are caused by things they see on TV and want to copy.—Tamara Texting while driving is very bad because you are going to kill somebody. Do you know how many people get killed? Nine every day while texting and driving, and 1,000 crashes. Can 5280 help us get people to stop texting while driving?—David Racism is making the world like old times. Racism can cause a human with different looks and beliefs to be afraid because of comments and threats. One racist comment can affect the person mentally. That’s why people should not hate in…
