Users beware: Trail apps have been leading to problems in public lands

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:00:24 GMT

Veteran mountaineer Dale Atkins was climbing the challenging Kelso Ridge last week on Torreys Peak, a popular Front Range fourteener, when he encountered a woman in her 20s who had discovered the complexity of the climb required route-finding skills beyond her experience level.“She said she’d gotten to one of the harder spots and just couldn’t figure out where to go, so she turned around,” said Atkins, a member of the Alpine Rescue Team, a volunteer search-and-rescue group that conducts missions in Clear Creek, Jefferson and Gilpin counties. “I asked her if she was using an app, and she said, ‘Yes, I was using AllTrails,’” he continued. “She said all the reviews were really positive about the climb, so she figured with three fourteeners under her belt that she could do it. Her ambitions just exceeded her experience.”Atkins wasn’t surprised. The popular hiking app, with its digital trail maps and user-generated reviews, is the go-to source fo...

Grading the Week: Ex-Nuggets hero Bruce Brown for Denver mayor! Why Brucie B’s long good-bye broke so many Front Range hearts.

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:00:24 GMT

You’re not crying, Bruce Brown. We’re crying.For the record, the kids up in the Grading the Week offices absolutely, unequivocally hate goodbyes. They love puppies. They love sunsets. They love fry bread, wild huckleberries, hibiscus doughnuts and long walks along the Barker Meadow Reservoir. But man, do they hate goodbyes.So when Brucie B, Nuggets Legend For Life, went to Instagram a few days ago to pen his official farewell to Denver, well — we won’t lie. The kids have been kind of a hot mess ever since.Bruce Brown’s long goodbye — B+.The better the fit, the deeper the hurt. Brucie B had us at “hello,” but when he photoshopped an image of himself as a child with a tiny arm around an equally photoshopped Nikola Jokic, we lost it.“To the fans,” Brown wrote, “(t)hank you for the love and support throughout this year never felt anything like that before!”On the court, Brown, beloved sixth man for Denver’s first-ever NBA champions, proved to be the missing piece of this ever-evolving, ...

Finally, Broncos star of the ’70s and ’80s headed to HallRe: “After 35-year wait, ex-Bronco Gradishar on doorstep of Canton,” Aug. 24 sports storyIt’s a darn shame that so many of Randy Gradishar’s admirers who were old enough to have actually watched him play in the last century couldn’t live long enough to see the final crowning moment in his career, a belated, seemingly begrudged election to Football’s Hall of Fame. Now we can sit down and explain to our adult-with-families-of-their-own grandkids just what a marvelous player Randy was.Harry Puncec, LakewoodRoad rage? No. These were good SamaritansDespite our automatic local news stories filled with hate and violence, I would like to share a recent experience I had driving Denver streets.Happily heading south on Colorado last Monday, I suddenly was harassed by a guy, the passenger in the car next to me, window down, screaming, “Get off the street!

Opinion: A good death on hospice for my mom after brain cancer horror

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:00:24 GMT

My brother’s text the morning of Aug. 2 was urgent: “Her breathing has just now shifted. … I think we’re closer, not there but closer.”Our mother was dying, but not in the gradual way she had been since her brain cancer diagnosis in May. This was “active dying,” the end-of-life phase where breathing and circulation rapidly slow until they cease.My brother was with nurses at our mom’s bedside, sending updates as I raced in from my home in Alhambra. He knew the end was near because our mom had been on hospice care at her home in Glendale for a week, and the nurses who performed daily checkups had explained to us what we might see as death approached.The hospice experience was starkly different from the previous three months that our mother, a highly regarded nurse working in a prenatal clinic at Los Angeles General Medical Center, spent in the hospital undergoing treatment for the cancer. She had endured surgeries, infections, tube feeding and chemotherapy, in hopes of a cure or, fail...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:00:24 GMT

SAN JOSE — Just like last season, Valley Christian hosted Wilcox in the season opener for both teams. But this time the outcome was quite a bit different.Aaron VanderVeen produced the only points of the second half with a 20-yard field goal in the third quarter to give Valley Christian a one-point lead that stood up Friday in a 16-15 victoryLast year Wilcox dominated VC 35-13.“Coming off a 1-9 season we have something to prove,” said Valley Christian middle linebacker Remy Hernandez, a standout all night long. “We were very young and inexperienced. Now that we’re older and more grown I think we’ll have a great year. I can’t wait to see.”In a throwback sort of game, middle linebackers were the star players for both teams. Wilcox middle backer Brayden Rosa was singled out after the game by Valley Christian coach Mike Machado.“That kid is a playmaker,” Machado said. “He gave us a lot of problems tonight.”Valley Chr...

Civil rights leader reflects on ‘assault on voting rights’ since 50th anniversary of March on Washington

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:00:24 GMT

The 60th anniversary of the March on Washington on Saturday in D.C. is prompting some to reflect on the progress made on core issues of the movement, especially voter rights, since the original march in 1963.“The importance of this march is that we’re in a continuation,” Marc Morial, CEO of the National Urban League, told WTOP. “We have to fight, we have to work, we have to compel Congress to pass a new voting rights bill.”Morial said that since the 50th anniversary of the march, there has been a “significant assault on voting rights” nationally.“At the moment of the 50th anniversary, Barack Obama was president,” he said. “But I remember at the 50th anniversary, the Supreme Court had just struck down Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act in the Shelby [County v. Holder] case.”Morial called this an “early warning sign” of what would happen during the Trump administration, which he said introduced legislation a...

¿Qué bebida es la mejor para hidratarse? Pista: no es agua

(CNN) — Cuando tienes sed, ¿qué bebidas son las mejores para mantenerte hidratado?Claro, siempre puedes tomar un vaso de agua, pero el H2O no es la bebida más hidratante, según un estudio de la Universidad St. Andrews de Escocia que comparó las respuestas de hidratación de varias bebidas diferentes.Los investigadores descubrieron que si bien el agua, tanto con gas como sin gas, hace un trabajo bastante bueno para hidratar rápidamente el cuerpo, las bebidas con un poco de azúcar, grasa o proteína hacen un trabajo aún mejor al mantenernos hidratados por más tiempo.La razón tiene que ver con la forma en que nuestros cuerpos responden a las bebidas, según Ronald Maughan, profesor de la Facultad de Medicina de St. Andrews y autor del estudio.Los bebedores de café se mueven más, pero también duermen menos, según un estudioUn factor es el volumen de una bebida determinada: cuanto más bebes, más rápido se vacía la bebida de tu estómago y se absorbe en el torrente sanguíneo, donde pued...
