GET SPICY with Summer Grilling By Family Features

Warmer weather may mean finding ways to cool off, but that doesn’t mean you can’t bring bold flavors to the gathering you’re hosting with family and friends. Throw some steak, shrimp and chicken on the grill and combine with sweet and spicy marinades to create a grilled spread that’s nearly irresistible. Take it up a notch and serve it with sides such as fresh limes, sizzling onions, creamy guacamole, pico de gallo and soft corn tortillas to complete your meal. It’s a tasty way to add an extra kick of flavor to summer entertaining. Find more recipes and ways to flavor your world at Tabasco.com.

To Prepare Meat: Remove steak, shrimp and chicken from marinade and set aside. Heat grill to medium-high heat.

For best results, use a meat thermometer. Serving suggestion: Place steak, shrimp and chicken on large platter and serve with side items such as fresh guacamole, pico de gallo, grilled onions, fresh limes and fresh corn tortillas.

dentistry Twin Aspen Dental Offers Anxiety-Free Treatment for All Ages By Tabatha Stewart

hen Dr. Brian Richter was studying to become a dentist, he received a good piece of advice—practice wherever you want to live. The Albuquerque native knew that Parker, CO was the place for him. The lifestyle of hiking, skiing, beautiful weather and the diverse culture made for the perfect home for Dr. Richter and his wife Ashley. They made the move, and after practicing dentistry for six years Dr. Richter took ownership of Twin Aspen Dental in 2016. Located in the heart of downtown Parker, Twin Aspen Dental offers general dentistry services, including cleanings and checkups, as well as same-day crowns and implants. Dr. Richter said he treats patients of all ages, and has even treated some as young as two days old to correct babies who were “tongue-tied” and wouldn’t nurse. He also treats elderly patients, and is familiar with the unique dental issues they face. “I wanted my practice to be a place where my patients feel safe and trust me,” said Dr. Richter. “I believe it’s important to find a dentist and an office where you feel comfortable, and see the same dentist every visit. I want to establish relationships with my patients that last a long time.” In addition to working with young and elderly patients, Dr. Richter has experience working with a population that has anxiety

about sitting in the dental chair. A personal, dedicated approach helps calm even the most anxious patient, Dr. Richter explained. “I’ve had patients who initially come in shaking with fear,” said Dr. Richter. “But meeting with them, and establishing trust transforms this once fearful patient into a patient who actually looks forward to their visits.” Dr. Richter relies on a team of nine ladies to help run his practice, and said it’s a team effort to meet the needs of all his patients. He also recommends asking friends and family members for recommendations as well as reading online patient reviews when looking for a new dentist. “As my patient, you can expect professional service on a personal level,” said Dr. Richter. “Together we will find the ideal treatment plan that will ensure your health and well-being.”

Day Trips Beaten Path off the By Bette Erickson

olorado’s mountains are so daunting that the state was settled much later than surrounding territories – the harsh winters and steep inclines dissuaded potential homesteaders. However, today these same peaks draw thousands of visitors each year. Tourists seek out these slopes to ski, hike, recreate and enjoy our vast vistas stretching in all directions. If you’re looking for a hiking and sight-seeing destination a bit off the beaten path, look no further. Following are some unique and memoryworthy experiences to put on your to-do list.

Boulder’s Eldorado Canyon Early in the 20th century, tightrope walker and all-around daredevil Ivy Baldwin made 86 trips on a tightrope suspended some 580-feet above Eldorado Canyon in the southern part of Boulder›s Eldorado Canyon. He made his last walk (and survived!) at the age of 82-years old in 1948. While parking at Eldorado Canyon bustles with activity each weekend, on weekdays the canyon tends to see far less traffic. For rock climbers and sightseers, this is the preferred way to experience Eldorado appeal. Most of the rock climbing done in Eldorado Canyon falls under the definition of traditional climbing, meaning that climbers place and remove much of the protection equipment they use on any given climb. More recently, “sport climbing” has taken off in a variety of locations including in and around Boulder. In sport climbing, outdoor enthusiasts hook devices called quick draws into preplaced expansion bolts that are fairly permanent fixtures to the rock face, meaning that the bolts remain in the stone for use of future climbers. Picnic tables, a large Visitor’s Center, and rushing, icy creek are just some of the amenities at Eldorado Canyon State Park. Located at 9 Kneale Rd., the fee is $8/day per car. Information: eldorado.park@state.co.us or (303) 494-3943

Highway of the Fourteeners Accessed via US 24 out of Buena Vista, this lovely 19-mile stretch along the Collegiate Peaks Scenic Byway showcases dramatic, close-up views of ten of Colorado’s 14,000+ foot mountains. (A fourteener is defined as a mountain taller than 14,000-feet above sea level.) Nowhere else in the United States will you see so many high peaks in one location. Allow about thirty minutes to drive, of course more time if you stop for photos. There are several scenic Byways originating from Buena Vista – for more information, visit www. buenavistacolorado.org or call (719) 395-6612.

Lookout Mountain and Buffalo Bill’s Grave William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody died in 1917. Even today, some 100 years later, the name Buffalo Bill is still synonymous with our perception of the Old West. As a young man, Cody trapped beaver in the Rocky Mountains, searched for gold in Colorado, delivered for the Pony Express, scouted with the US Army and earned his nom de guerre by hunting thousands of buffalo for crews building the Kansas Pacific Railroad to Denver. Following Cody’s death, a Denver Post eulogy noted the “passing of the great West.” A day trip to Lookout Mountain Nature Center and Preserve, including Cody’s grave site, near Golden is worthwhile. Information: (303) 526-0594 or www.buffalobill.org. Indeed, Colorado’s landscape is spellbinding, and it’s easy to see why tourism and recreation have become leading industries. Mark Twain called one Colorado community he visited “the wickedest city in the west.” In 1889, Butch Cassidy robbed his first bank in Telluride. Billy the Kid is another well-known resident. The state remains steeped in memories of a wild frontier heritage. From the dilapidated mines scattered through state forests to long abandoned ghost towns, Colorado’s sense of adventure still lingers.

Hiking Castlewood Canyon State Park

St. Elmo in Chaffee County Far up a dirt road, deep in the mountain of Chaffee County, lies the ghost of St. Elmo. This weathered ghost town, founded in 1880, lies in the heart of the Sawatch Range, 20 miles southwest of Buena Vista. With creaking wooden sidewalks meandering past splintered false-fronted wooden buildings, St. Elmo is among Colorado’s best-preserved mining towns. At an elevation of 9,961-feet above sea level, the ghost town sits in a quiet wooded valley, now home to hummingbirds and chipmunks. From Buena Vista take US 24 south for eight miles to Nathrop, then CR 162 west for 16 miles.

An ideal all-season hike, enjoy this State Park for its history (the Castlewood Canyon Dam) and other rugged landmark features. The routes offered here are suitable for most hikers who enjoy being out in nature and are good with distance (3.6+ miles) and elevation gain (500 feet). An added bonus: The amphitheater and the Bridge Canyon Overlook gazebo nestled along the edge of the canyon is a much soughtafter spot for weddings and other outdoor events. The area is open from sunrise to sunset and dogs are welcome on leash. Daily fee is $8. Getting there: Take I-25 south to exit 182, following the signs for Hwy. 86 and Franktown. Turn right toward Castle Rock and take a left on Fifth Ave. onto Hwy. 86, following the signs to Franktown. After 6.5 miles turn right on Castlewood Canyon Rd. and go about 2.5 miles to park at the Westside Trailhead.

14 REASONS TO – LOVE THE –

SOUTH METRO Kristen Beckman

If living in a state with sunny skies, great weather and beautiful views isn’t enough,check out these 14 reasons to love living in South Metro Denver.

NATURE AND HISTORY •

•

A 1,000-acre Denver Mountain Park, Daniels Park in Castle Pines has unique sandstone ridges, offers spectacular views of the Front Range and is home to a herd of bison that roams the majority of the park’s upper elevations. The Tall Bull Memorial in the north section of the park is reserved for Native Americans who use the site for ceremonies and activities. The Kit Carson Memorial marks the site of the frontiersman’s last campfire in 1868. While most of the park is closed to the public due to the presence of the bison, visitors are permitted at the park’s shelter and in designated viewing areas. The historic Highlands Ranch Mansion has been home to some of Denver’s most notable families, including cattle barons, socialites, and business leaders. Today, the elegant property is available for tours or private events. Bluffs Regional Park is a 253-acre regional park in Lone Tree that offers spectacular views of the mountains and the Denver metro area. A 2.7-mile trail loop connects with feeder trails and overlooks for hikers, runners, bicyclists and horseback riders.

•

Vehicle Vault in Parker is an auto gallery and elite custom garage community designed for those who share a passion for cars. The vault exhibits a collection of rare and exotic automobiles from all over the world.

•

The Curtis Center for the Arts in Greenwood Village is home to many unique and exciting art exhibits, lectures, cultural events, concerts, activities for seniors and youth, and adult art programs. Seven exhibits are offered during the year including Youth Art Month, the Greenwood and Beyond Photography Show and the All Colorado Art Show.

VENUES •

Centennial Center Park in Centennial is a city-owned park that includes a large playground and splash pad, several picnic shelters, beautiful gardens and an amphitheater. The park hosts a variety of community events, including a summer kickoff concert, a laser light show and a chalk art festival.

•

A former movie theater, the 98-year-old Gothic Theatre in Englewood maintains its historic art deco interior but was rebuilt two decades ago to become a music venue, which now hosts local and nationally recognized bands.

MUSEUMS •

•

Englewood’s Museum of Outdoor Arts art collection includes more than 150 pieces — including paintings, kinetic sculptures, bronze statues and earth-based conceptual works — in various locations throughout Englewood, Greenwood Plaza and Denver including Marjorie Park, a sculpture park located adjacent to Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre. The Madden Museum is MOA’s sister museum, and is located in the Palazzo Verdi building just outside of Fiddlers Green Amphitheater in Greenwood Plaza. The Madden was founded with an emphasis on the private art collection of John W. and Marjorie Madden and offers changing exhibitions along with a permanent exhibition showcasing the Madden Collection and educational programming.

Spotlight® Magazine | Late Summer 2018

FITNESS OPPORTUNITIES •

The 18-hole Westcreek Disk Golf Course is a champion length course in Parker designed with assistance from local disc golf enthusiasts and experts. Disc golf is similar to golf but involves throwing a disk or Frisbee into a series of baskets. The course is located adjacent to the Corporal David M. Sonka Dog Park in Parker.

•

You don’t have to go all the way to Manitou Springs to attempt an incline challenge. The Challenge Staircase at Philip S. Miller Park in Castle Rock includes 200 steps that gain 170 feet in elevation. Trails at the top and throughout the park allow climbers to complete their workout.

The Art

Beautiful Hair – O F –

Awaits You!

•

Both Highlands Ranch and Parker allow residents to ‘climb’ 14ers without hitting the mountains. Flat 14ers is a State of Colorado initiative to encourage children, families, teachers, staff, administrators and community members to increase their level of physical activity by climbing virtual 14ers. Trails in Parker simulate Mt. Bierstadt, Torrey’s Peak and Mt. Massive, and trails in Highlands Ranch simulate Mt. Sneffels, Mt. Lincoln and Mt. Yale, among others.

FOR THE DOGS •

•

Located south of E-470 along Cherry Creek Trail, the town of Parker’s first dog park is named for Corporal David M. Sonka, a 2008 Chaparral High School graduate who was killed in action, along with his military working dog Flex, in Afghanistan in 2013. The Corporal David M. Sonka Dog Park features nearly five acres of off-leash space with shade structures, drinking fountains, small dog area and an agility course. One of the many great features of Chatfield State Park is a 69-acre offleash dog area that is completely fenced and includes two ponds as well as paved and unpaved walking trails for both dogs and people to enjoy.
