WATERFALLS THAT By Bette Erickson

WOW

Go ahead – Enjoy the splash. When summer sizzles, these waterfalls will cool, refresh and energize you. Waterfalls and icy pools of water go together. Following you’ll find several waterfall trips that require minimal hiking to get to and just enough ‘wow’ to have you snapping photo after photo.

Spotlight® Magazine | Late Summer 2016

Dogs: No Fee: The entry fee is $20 for a one day pass.

Helen Hunt Falls Bridal Veil Falls Dropping 365-feet from the Bridal Veil Basin in a box canyon in Telluride is Colorado’s tallest free-falling waterfall. Making it an even more impressive spectacle is the power plant atop the falls. The second oldest AC generation facility in the country, the power plant was built in 1907 to supply the Smuggler’s Union Mine. To the trailhead: Drive east through Telluride on Colorado Ave. for a little over two miles past the Pandora Mill to a large unmarked parking area. No hiking – just drive to the end of the box canyon and look up. Dogs: Yes, on leash

Near Colorado Springs along Cheyenne Canyon Rd., Helen Hunt Falls offers a truly sublime experience. Visitors can view the falls by taking just a short jaunt from the parking area and may opt to go above the waterfall via a short trek along a trail. An added bonus: Continuing about a quarter of a mile you will be treated to a second nearby waterfall called Silver Falls. Helen Hunt Jackson was a 19th-century poet and author who focused on the plight of the American Indians. To the trailhead: From I-25 take the Nevada Rd. exit on the south side of Colorado Springs. Take this to Cheyenne Blvd. in a few blocks. When you reach a fork in the road follow the sign to Helen Hunt Falls. Dogs: Yes, on leash

Calypso Cascades Calypso Cascades, at just 1.8-miles from the trailhead along Rocky Mountain National Park’s eastern border, gushes enthusiastically. While these falls are a winter snowshoe destination treat, there’s nowhere else in Colorado that offers such a visual feast during the spring and summer.

continued on page 26

To the trailhead: Take US. 36 west to Boulder and continue through Lyons. Turn left on CO7 for 20 miles. From CO7, turn west at the Wild Basin sign and drive to the Copeland Lake area, about one mile. Follow the narrow road to the Wild Basin entrance station.

Remember though, because the falls are in RMNP, no dogs are allowed on the trail.

Rifle Falls State Park One of the most scenic (triple !) waterfalls in Colorado, Rifle Falls stands uniquely apart from any other falls in the state. Shrubs framing the trail and glorious limestone cliffs adorn the route throughout the canyon housing Rifle Falls. To the trailhead: Take Rifle exit 90 from I-70 north onto CO13. Three miles north of town, bear right onto CO325 all the way to the park. Obtain a park map and continue north through Rifle Falls State Park. Dogs: Yes, on leash Fee: $7/daily pass

Steamboat’s Fish Creek Falls Fish Creek Falls is an impressive 283-foot high waterfall near Steamboat Springs. The waterfall is minutes from downtown Steamboat Springs and reachable via a gravel path about 3/4-mile from the parking area to the falls. Acquired by the U.S. Forest Service in the early 1980s, the Fish Creek Falls area offers hiking, a picnic area and informational signs. To the trailhead: Once in Steamboat Springs, drive east on Lincoln Ave., then turn left on third St. At the next stop sign, take a right onto Fish Creek Falls Rd and drive about three miles to the parking area. Dogs: Yes, on leash Fee: $5 per vehicle per day

With more than 2,500 acres of prairie grassland and fragrant forests, and 20 miles of easy-to-moderate trails, Lory State Park beckons hikers, cyclists and horseback riders. To the trailhead: From I-25 take Harmony Rd/38E west. Turn right on CR23 and proceed north until the T-intersection. Take a left at the stop sign onto CR23.

LOVE. SWEAT.

GEARS. Huge Cycling Event Benefits Good Samaritan Medical Center By Kristen Beckman

SpotlightÂŽ Magazine | Late Summer 2016

Cyclists of all abilities will take to the hills Sunday, August 28, for an event benefiting the Good Samaritan Medical Center in Lafayette.

his year marks the 10th anniversary of the Good Sam Bike Jam. The theme for this year’s race is “Love. Sweat. Gears. Use your pedal power to change someone’s life.” The event is organized by the Good Samaritan Medical Center Foundation and is one of its largest fundraisers to support Good Samaritan Medical Center (GSMC), which provides a range of services including trauma care, oncology, maternity and orthopedics, as well as cardiac and stroke programs. Each year, proceeds of the event are earmarked for specific programs. This year, funds will support the emergency services and trauma programs, said Tiffany Anderson, marketing manager at Good Samaritan Medical Center. Specifically, the funds will provide scholarships for three EMTs to attend the Rocky Mountain Trauma conference to support their professional development; contribute to sponsoring both a camp for stroke survivors and their caregivers and a camp for those who have had brain injuries; and allow the medical center to purchase new wheelchairs. The ride incorporates six categories to accommodate all levels of cyclists. All races start and finish in Lafayette at Good Samaritan Medical Center, 200 Exempla Circle. The starting times will be staggered.

•

The Century Course is a challenging 100-mile route to Allenspark and back and is designed for expert riders. The course includes 8,300 feet of climbing and a timed King & Queen of the Mountain competition.

•

Advanced riders can choose the 62-mile metric-century tour of Boulder County’s most scenic mountain and prairie roads. The King & Queen of the Mountain competition is also included in this ride.

•

Intermediate cyclists can take on a 45-mile ride on a gently rolling course in Boulder County, with views of Longs Peak and the Rocky Mountains.

•

Beginners have two choices. A 32-mile course takes cyclists on an easy-tonavigate route with mountain views, and a 16-mile course provides a short, flat ride perfect for first-timers.

•

Other Beginners and Families can choose to participate in the family ride. This is a 3-mile flat route that the entire family can enjoy. The ride is organized in partnership with the Butterfly Pavilion to support the Wings of Wellness community initiative.

All riders are invited to join their fellow cyclists for festivities following the rides at Good Samaritan Medical Center. Bands, including Runaway Train and Face, will play between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., said Anderson. The festivities will include food, adult and other beverages, and sponsor booths. Vendors will hand out healthy snacks and drinks at the finish line. Riders can form teams of 10 or more to receive discounted registration. Each rider will receive a t-shirt for participating, said Anderson. Organizers hope 1,000 riders will sign up for the ride’s 10th anniversary. More than 800 riders participated last year. “This event is important because it supports the programs and services of the medical center and aligns with our priorities of promoting a healthy lifestyle while being an active member of the community,” said Anderson.

SPICES SPI MAKE SUMMER SIPS By Brandpoint®

Sweet iced tea and sangria are as much hallmarks of summer as baseball and barbecues. Cocktails are a great way to cool off when temperatures climb, or they can help heat up any celebration. If you’re looking to add some fresh excitement to seasonal beverages, spices, spirits and fun presentations can make summer sips shine.

Here are three tricks to help make your summer cocktails unique:

COLOR YOUR COCKTAILS Summer is bursting with color, from lush flowers and foliage to brighter hues in clothes and even the rainbow shades of children’s ice pops. Let the bounty of colors inspire your summer cocktails. Create cheer with bright greens by muddling basil or mint in the clear spirit of your choice. Fire up your guests with brilliant reds courtesy of fresh summer tomato juice. Liquefied watermelon makes any cocktail pretty pink, while crushed raspberries or blueberries add a rich, textured appeal.

SPICE IT UP Whether you want to add a zing of heat to the coolness of a cocktail, or balance the sweetness of a mixed drink, spices and herbs are a great way to layer flavors in beverages. Herbs such as basil and mint are staples for summer cocktails, but experimenting with other spices and seasonings can yield some memorable combinations. The heat of chipotle salt can be the perfect foil for sweet, fruit-based beverages. Cardamom adds an exotic flare to traditional cocktails like Moscow Mules, while traditional iced tea gets an Asian treatment with the addition of Five Spice Powder.

PLAYFUL PRESENTATIONS Summer cocktails are all about cool fun, and you can underscore that theme by serving your unique summer sips in creative containers. For example, instead of pouring sangria in a wine glass, try serving it in a clear dessert bowl to show off the bright colors. Plus, the wide bowl will make it easier to access and eat the fruit when the sangria is gone. Serve your spiced ice tea in mason jars with a lemon slice for garnish. Or, queue up your Cardamom Moscow Mule in a copper mug to give guests the cooling visual effect of condensation on metal.

IRITS SHINE

Try these two spice- and spirit-filled summer cocktails from Simply Organic, producers of premium-quality USDA certified organic spices and seasonings:

Watermelon Margarita with Chipotle Salt Rim What’s cooler than watermelon on a sultry summer afternoon? Kicking up the heat with smoky chipotle salt, that’s what!

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a blender, combine watermelon, tequila, lime juice and cane sugar. Blend until smooth. 2. On a small plate, combine salt and chipotle powder. Wet the rims of the glasses with a piece of watermelon or water, then dip them in chipotle salt. Serve immediately.

Five Spice Iced Tea Cocktail The classic summer beverage, iced tea gets an Asian-inspired treatment in this recipe.

Garnish with fresh orange slices and cinnamon sticks.

CDOT Launches Campaign to Address Seat Belt Crisis in Colorado In 2015, Colorado saw an alarming spike in traffic fatalities, totaling 545 fatalities, compared with 488 in 2014—an 11.7 percent increase. Even more telling: the 15 percent of Coloradans who don’t buckle up represent 52 percent, or 181, of all 2015 passenger vehicle fatalities.

n response, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has launched a new statewide campaign to address the seat belt crisis: Beware of the Beltless. CDOT launched the widespread initiative with a press conference in June. At the event, CDOT Executive Director Shailen Bhatt spoke alongside Dr. Fredric Pieracci from Denver Health Medical Center, as well as John Bowman, whose granddaughter survived a crash in a car seat. The girl’s father, however, died because he wasn’t buckled up. “Motor vehicle traffic crashes are one of the leading causes of death for young adults in Colorado,” Bhatt said. “Many people incorrectly assume that not buckling up only puts you at risk—or has consequences that only affect you. That is simply not the case. An unbuckled passenger in your vehicle increases your risk of being hurt or killed by 40 percent. You should never be afraid to ask others to buckle up; it’s for the safety of yourself and those around you.” “Injuries from not wearing a seat belt can include extensive internal damage to the heart, lungs and aorta, all of which can potentially be life threatening injuries,” said Pieracci, trauma medical director at Denver Health. “If the force of the impact causes the person to be ejected from the car, there is also a great risk for head injuries and possibly traumatic brain injury, which in the most severe cases can lead to death or a persistent vegetative state.

“If there is one piece of advice I can offer, it’s to take the time to buckle your seatbelt.” A total of 32 confirmed campaign partners come from a variety of sectors, including health care, transportation, law enforcement, military, community organizations, and large Colorado employers. “The commitments of support are huge,” Bhatt said. “With the help of our partners, this campaign will have lasting effects on seat belt usage rates across Colorado—and ultimately save hundreds of lives in the years to come.” The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that Colorado could save 63 lives and countless injuries annually by increasing seat belt use to 100 percent. The campaign’s overarching message is a new approach to seat belt safety. CDOT and campaign partners want the public to realize not wearing a seat belt doesn’t affect just you; you can become a direct threat to the people around you. In the event of a crash, an unbelted driver or passenger can act as a projectile and cause serious or even fatal damage to others in the vehicle. The goal of the campaign is to create a sense of urgency around seat belt use. Motor vehicle traffic crashes are one of the leading causes of death for young adults in Colorado. The campaign will run through Sept. 15.

The Beware of the Beltless campaign launched this year to address a seat belt crisis in Colorado. The 15 percent of Coloradans who don’t buckle up represent over half of the 2015 passenger vehicle fatalities. The campaign raises awareness about exactly how an unbuckled person poses a risk to themselves, other people in the vehicle, and even those outside the vehicle.
