Enjoy Colorado’s many wild places on Public Lands Day
FRONT RANGE In May 2016, Colorado became the first state in the nation to establish a state holiday for our public lands. The third Saturday in May, May 19 this year, is now recognized as Colorado Public Lands Day, a day to celebrate how our public lands are central to our economy and our quality of life. The state holiday is intended to encourage all Coloradans and visitors to the state to get outside and enjoy Colorado’s unparalleled public lands. Several voluntourism events take place across the state in celebration of the day including river cleanup, trash pickup and more. Coloradans know that our forests,
rivers, mountains, grasslands, and parks are a huge part of our economy, from fueling tourism and outdoor retailers to drawing in new businesses and residents. But more than that, our public lands are a place for people to connect with nature, challenge themselves to grow, get closer to the people they’re with, and learn about the world around us. Colorado Public Lands Day is a chance to get outside and enjoy Colorado’s unparalleled wild places and to give back to the public lands that provide us with so much. In honor of Colorado Public Lands Day, the Friends of Colorado State Parks will host its 3rd Annual Photo Campaign through May 21. This year,
the group is looking for photos of folks taking care of their public lands, specifically their state parks. To be considered, the photo must include people taking part in a stewardship activity at a Colorado State Park in May of 2018. E-mail the photo by May 21 to info@ friendsofcoloradostateparks.org. For complete guidelines visit us at friendsofcoloradostateparks.org. Learn more about the special day and events at copubliclandsday.com.

Doors to Garaj Re-opened By Jeffrey V. Smith NEDERLAND ometimes life gets in the way of a good thing. Sometimes it’s just a snowbank. One of the most diverse, multi-dimensional and accomplished acts to fall under the jam-band umbrella unexpectedly brought more than a decade of heavy touring to a stop following an incident with black ice in 2010. Fans were shattered and left to experience their favorite band by downloading recordings of its nearly 1,000 live performances. Garaj Mahal is now reuniting with its longest-running line-up—Kai Eckhardt on bass, Alan Hertz on drums, Fareed Haque on guitar and Eric Levy on keys—for the first time since 2011 for a one-off, three-day Colorado run including a night at the Caribou Room, 55 Indian Peaks Dr. in Nederland, May 12 at 9 p.m. Progressive jam band Genetics opens the show. Tickets are $22 plus fees. The end of the band’s touring days came as a surprise to everyone. “In 2007, we became victim of the financial crisis in the U.S. Guarantees turned into door deals, which made touring at a loss dangerously possible,” Eckhardt explained. “Then we ditched our touring van into a snowbank

Music near Ymir, BC in the Canadian wilderness. We slid out on black ice. That was the end of the band.” At that time Eckhardt had assumed control of the band’s business and had “considerable” debt to settle. “I borrowed money and floated the debt until the band had paid for itself from royalties from Harmonized Records. It took about five years. During those dues paying days, there was no playing. Garaj was down to one member. Now we are back in the black.” Thanks to some dedicated and “loyal” fans who “demanded a comeback,” most of the band came together “against all odds” for an “unlikely reunion” at a Canadian festival last summer. “To our surprise everyone was in great musical shape thanks to all of us diversifying our musical background with many projects, both national and international while on hiatus,” Eckhardt said. Band members “managed to put the past behind them” and played five sets at the event. Levy was unable to attend due to obligations with Night Ranger, a band he joined in 2011 soon after Garaj Mahal stopped touring. “It was great to play again with Garaj Mahal.

NOTEWORTHY McEuen gets ‘gritty’ in new memoir
Music
J
ohn McEuen—founding member of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, host of Acoustic Traveller on Sirius/XM Satellite and one-time Clear Creek County local—released in April a memoir providing a behind-the-scenes glimpse “of the life of an enduring legend and his influence on American music.” The banjo player is one of the seminal figures who conceived and originated the fusion of folk, rock and country, a unique sound still hugely popular today. In addition to performing on tour with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and on dozens of bestselling albums, McEuen also has a successful solo performing and recording career. As a music producer, he won a Grammy for producing The Crow, a music album by Steve Martin, McEuen’s lifelong friend. McEuen writes candidly and movingly about the ups and downs in his life. Among the highs was his band’s tour of the Soviet Union in 1977, the first American group to perform there. Among the downs was a breakup of his family in the 1980s. McEuen is a born storyteller, and his tales of working with Linda Ronstadt, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, the Allman Brothers Band, Bob Dylan, Dolly Parton, Steve Martin and others will thrill fans of folk, rock, and country music alike. According to banjo picker, actor and writer Martin, “Beautifully written, John’s book is an intimate and revealing memoir of a long and diverse music career and the ups and downs of life on the road. We’ve each had a complicated and thrilling journey since our high school friendship sent us off into the world.”

Enjoy award-winning bluegrass ROLLINSVILLE
Meadow Mountain, which won last year’s RockyGrass and Ullrgrass band competitions, is “emerging from the Colorado bluegrass scene with a desire to take their music across the world.” Rooted in traditional, hard-driving bluegrass, the band draws inspiration from many genres, culminating in a “powerful, unique acoustic sound.” Catch the act, June 1 at 9 p.m., with The Lonesome Days, another young, award-winning Colorado bluegrass band, at the Stage Stop, 60 Main St. in Rollinsville. Meadow Mountain began as a group of friends busking on the corner of the Vail farmers market, but it wasn’t long before they were playing gigs around Summit County and Vail. Band members spent time “tightening up their sound” as the house band aboard the cruise ship, The Norwegian Dawn. Since returning, the band has become one of the “premier voices” in the local bluegrass scene. Call 303-258-0649 or visit www.stagestoprollinsville.com to learn more.

Band to revisit its original funk, groove Continued from page 4
musicianship that’s hard to find in a collective. Ten years of touring also created this family of friends, fans and supporters. It is like reconnecting to one’s own history,” Eckhardt explained. “Garaj Mahal has always been about pushing the envelope of musicianship. Everyone in this band brought unique spirit and energy to the Garaj. Most valuable is the concept of a band where nobody is the leader and everybody can alternate in taking on leadership. That is Garaj Mahal. It’s the hardest path, but also the most rewarding in terms of a personal learning experience.” When the band came together, it was a supergroup of sorts. As Eckhardt explained, “Hertz has Grateful dead roots via KVHW with [Steve] Kimmock, who played with Jerry Garcia. Levy has Chicago gospel roots. Fareed came out of the Zawinul Syndicate. Joe Zawinul played keyboards in Miles Davis’ band. I came out of the John McLaughlin trio. McLaughlin played guitar on Bitches Brew,which is again Miles Davis.” Despite their musical pedigrees, Eckhardt warns about expecting a certain sound based on their backgrounds. “Take this with a grain of salt,” he said. “Despite the intellectual nature of some of this musical lineage, we are about the groove,” Eckhardt said. “We all love the funk. The funk is what unites us. Garaj Mahal is a special kind of funk that can sit on a pocket for a very long time. And then, every once in a while, it explodes.” These “explosions,” and high level of musicianship, are why the band’s work has remained popular and stood the test of time. “We worked insanely hard and toured a lot back in those days. We documented plenty of music. I don’t take for granted that people remember us,” Eckhardt said. The other component is the tapers. “We have over two million downloads of our live shows from
archive.org. I used to feel terrible realizing I had given away all my music for free. But, apparently, there is a redeeming value. It took seven years to grow in our absence.” The current Colorado revival of Garaj Mahal was made possible by the band’s U.S. fan base and promoters in the state “who kept the flame alive,” according to Eckhardt. “We have deep history with Colorado. Jay Bianchi’s venues in Denver were home for us. Quixote’s, Dulcinea’s, Cervantes were all places we played repeatedly,” he said. “We also played in Nederland… back in the day. It was the Caribou Room in Nederland that reached out to us first for a reunion in the U.S. Jay followed up with an offer for two nights in Denver and the U.S. reunion was ready to go. We are extremely psyched to come to Colorado to meet our old and new fans and friends alike. Special thanks to Genetics for sharing their gear and fans and space and love for the music.” Fans know to expect the unexpected when it comes to Garaj Mahal, so it’s unknown what exactly will transpire when everyone is back on stage together again. “I will do my very best not to expect anything other than for myself to do the very best I can for the overall situation to be a success,” Eckhardt said. “The stage dynamics should be set by the energy in the room and the audience. No micro-management. That way I can stay open and authentic without falling into old patterns or setting unrealistic standards.” Although the band’s members are excited to get back together and Eckhardt has declared, “the doors of the Garaj have re-opened and together we shall ride it to the top,” the future after this run remains unclear. “No one knows if/when this line-up will perform together again,” Levy said in a recent online post. “Looking forward to playing creative, improvisational music with these talented musicians, and to seeing some old familiar faces too.” Eckhardt says the band currently has a “signifi-
Garaj Mahal
cant amount” of offers on the table for the future. Surprised by the interest from venues, the bassist is willing to see if there is a “viable lifeline” to find out where the “adventure” might take them next. “Before we can accept any of these we have to discuss the reality of everyone’s personal priorities,” he said. “There is uncertainty. I am hoping that we’ll have a chance to work it out in Colorado.” No matter what the future holds, Eckhardt, who performs with a number of other acts, will continue the work he began after the band’s demise. “The experience was scary enough to jolt me into activism,” he said. “After years of pondering the best way to change the plight of artists for the better, I joined Artists United in 2016.” The artist collective has 13,000 members and include all kinds of artists as well as those who practice non-professionally. “We are dedicated to becoming a huge organization with the muscle to advocate for ourselves, to generate funding and provide the services we need instead of waiting for things to change,” he said. “Please join Artists United today [at artistsunited.net]. Membership is free. Your input counts.”
NOTEWORTHY Leftover Salmon - Something Higher
F
or any band to thrive on the road for nearly 30 years, there needs to be a constant source of renewal, a fresh spring of creativity at the center of the music that brings each member back for more. For Leftover Salmon, one of the great purveyors of Americana, this source came first from the American roots music traditions they came up with: bluegrass picking, Cajun two-stepping, the country blues. With its new album, Something Higher, due out May 4 on LoS Records, Leftover Salmon taps into everything from horn-blasting R&B to reverb-drenched desert noir, from the cosmic roots music sound they helped create to neo-New Orleans-meets-Appalachia liquefaction. There’s an unmistakable evolution to Leftover Salmon’s sound, and Something Higher has an edge to it that feels entirely new. To create Something Higher, Leftover Salmon returned to longtime producer Steve Berlin of Los Lobos with a new mission: to record at the famed Wavelab Studio in Tucson, Arizona, and to go all analog. The warmth of analog, coupled with Berlin’s uncommonly attuned ear for the dynamics of larger bands, brought a more focused sound to the group and challenged them as well. “He’s always looking for that thing in a song or a groove that he hasn’t heard before,” says bassist Greg Garrison about Berlin, “which is tricky because he’s heard a lot of stuff already! He pushes the band to do something different, to surprise him.” Over 10 days in Tucson, Leftover Salmon laid out the new music, each songwriter bringing a songwriting kernel and letting the rest of the band work out new improvisations to craft the final song. The key to Leftover Salmon’s music, now more than ever, is the way they marry technical precision with easy groove. It’s a trick that old jazz players used to pull, a dance between virtuosity and the illusion of ease. In crafting the new music, founding members Vince Herman and Drew Emmitt provide a foundational focus and guiding spirit, while banjo player Andy Thorn keeps the band close to their original roots in backstage picking parties. The rhythm section—bassist Garrison, keyboardist Erik Deutsch, and drummer Alwyn Robinson—was a key focus point for Berlin, who drew out members’ backgrounds in jazz and hip-hop to zero in on the heart of Leftover Salmon: the groove.

Rollins Pass focus of new history book ROLLINSVILLE
Rollins Pass, a new book in Arcadia Publishing’s “Images of America” series to be released in May, details the unique history of the “scenic route to the top of the world” in new and interesting ways. Local authors B. Travis Wright and Kate Wright are the co-founders of Preserve Rollins Pass and are also photographers, apprentice archaeologists, discoverers and technologists. Throughout the pages of this book, the authors thoughtfully detail the many heroes and legends of Rollins Pass – from worker John Trezise, to David Moffat and his respect for his men, to how Rollins himself wrote about his initial journeys on what would become known as Rollins Pass. To take the reader back in time, the authors incorporate the text of many historical newspaper articles, giving an added dimension to the zeitgeist and arc of the Rollins Pass story. The book contains many rare images in pristine quality. It is the only book on Rollins Pass to feature an image of John Quincy Adams Rollins, after whom Rollins Pass was named. Also included are several 19th-century stereocard images documenting landscapes as they were before the railroad. The work includes dozens of incredible photographs from the personal collection of a railroad engineer, John T. Trezise, who worked on Rollins Pass. Intrigued by the consistent inconsistencies regarding the elevation of Rollins Pass, the authors conducted primary research to get to the bottom of this mystery. As such, this is the only publication to date that explains, using the help of both the National Geodetic Survey and the US Geological Survey, what the exact elevation of Rollins Pass is and how older elevation values were derived. Unlike other published works on Rollins Pass, this is the only book to mention and dedicate a full-chapter to the 10,000 years of Native American history on the pass. The book includes a foreword by archaeologist Jason M. LaBelle, PhD, who studies the Native American presence on the pass and has concluded it holds “one of the greatest concentrations of ancient hunting structures documented in North America.” Finally, this is the only book on Rollins Pass to document discoveries made on the pass within the last decade – including modern-day discoveries of settlements, a derailed railcar, and more. Through their organization, Preserve Rollins Pass, the authors provide modern-day hikers and visitors with the means to directly contact interested archaeologists about artifacts found on the pass enabling more complete historical records to be created. With each published work, Travis and Kate assure proper preservation of materials and sources. While writing Rollins Pass, nearly 2,000 historical photographs and documents were digitally safeguarded and shared with academia, museums, and historical societies. Travis and Kate were selected to participate in the US Forest Service “Passport in Time” project where artifacts and features on Rollins Pass were classified as National Heritage Sites and given trinomials to be included in the Smithsonian’s national collection. The Wrights are co-authors to other academic research publications, including those documenting archaeological discoveries they made or contributed to on Rollins Pass.

Work W Where You Live New business offers mountain residents coworking space
By Jeffrey V. Smith NEDERLAND orking where you live is much easier said than done when living in a rural mountain community. Jobs are limited and so are resources for those who work at home. Steve and Jen Karowe hope to change that standard in the Peak to Peak region with Hub Ned, a coworking, private office and meeting space they carved out of their new Nederland building at 80 Big Springs Drive. Hub Ned offers a brand new, green-friendly workspace with options from “hot desks” to dedicated offices accessible 24/7 along with large and small conference rooms. A host is on duty during open hours to welcome visitors, assist with logistical needs, keep things clean and connect business people to each other. There’s also hard-wired internet and professional computer printers as well as a kitchen, shower and other perks like great views of the mountains and town. “The whole point of the building and the coworking space is to have a place for people who live in Nederland to be able to work in Nederland so they don’t have to go down the hill to one of the other coworking spaces, or to an office or something,” Jen said. “If people can work from home, if they’re allowed to work remotely or if they are self-employed and get distracted by the laundry or the dog or the lack of WiFi, they can come here and buckle down to get the job done. So, basically, we are just trying to support anyone who is trying to make some money and give them a place to do that.” Continued on page 18

Hub Ned membership includes use of a large community kitchen area or one of the small, private conference spaces. Photos by Jeffrey V. Smith
Coworking space supports local businesses Continued from page 14
The idea for a “nice, professional” community coworking space in the mountains developed when Steve was conceptualizing a building to relocate his Boulder-based African basket business to his long-time hometown of Nederland. “I started hearing about all these [coworking] hubs around Boulder, Denver, the country and the world, and I was thinking it would be awesome for up here because we are all landlocked and everybody drives down to Boulder and back so often, he said. “We had this space available, so we thought it would be great just to try it.” Although the concept is popular in most urban areas, the Karowes have found many mountain residents are unfamiliar with the idea of a coworking space. “It’s a place to work in the community for people who work remotely and want to have some sort of connection to other humans,” Jen explained. “In this area, you can get a little isolated. A lot of people live here because they like that, but sometimes you don’t want it every day of your life, especially in the winter.” One of the most important assets Hub Ned offers is its fiber optic WiFi. “We paid to bring it all in and that’s a huge selling point for up here… We felt we were really positioned well here because of the geography of people in the Peak to Peak area not having good internet and not having easy access to this kind of a place without driving 45 minutes or more,” Steve explained. In addition to a large, open community work space on the main level, there is a room upstairs with seven “private” desks for rent. “If you want to keep your stuff here, you would have your personal filing cabinet that you can lock, and you can leave your computer if you want or just your pen and pencil and it’s your desk,” Jen said. “You would also have a key to the building, so you can come in anytime.” There are also two conference room spaces upstairs which are already being used regularly by local organizations. Although unexpected, the Karowes are excited about how the building’s occupants and Hub Ned users are coming together. “It’ really cool how it’s like a community,” Steve said. “It’s just neat bePage 18
MMAC monthly
cause when I was building it, it was just a building. But because of the kind of place Nederland is, it really has turned into a community. You see people you know and friends in the building all the time.” Steve also points out that Hub Ned provides jobs to three locals and their 15 offices are filled with people who live within 15 minutes of their work space. A solar panel company located in the building has local owners who moved the company up from Boulder and can now hire local. “It’s really neat just to see that how much this building has helped with creating jobs for people that live up here and keeping people up here,” he said. The Karowes also want the space to support people who are business-minded, so they are making the space available for business development workshops, “lunch and learn” classes and other events. Hub Ned has already attracted a wide range of workers including an attorney, accountant, data entry person, writer, recruiter, software developer and other internet-based business people. Now that it has been open for several months, the Karowes now hope Peak to Peak residents will come check out Hub Ned. “We have free day-passes that we’ll give out to anyone who wants to see the space and try it out,” Steve said. “We’re in the mode of just opening up and getting the word out and have people come in and try it. We figure the more people that see the space and sit here for a day will be energized and tell their friends it’s actually pretty nice over there.” According to Jen, the couple are very invested in the community and only have the best intentions when it comes to serving the town. “Being locals, we care about the community. Our kids are in kindergarten and first grade [in Nederland], so we’re not going anywhere,” Jen said. “We tried really hard to make sure we built a place that people weren’t going to be totally offended by… It’s funny to see people walk in the door, stop and say, ‘this is really nice.’” Visit hubned.com or call 303-848-2520 to learn about membership options, which range in price from $45-$250 a month, and upcoming events. Stop in Hub Ned in person at 80 Big Springs Dr. to tour the space and inquire about a free day pass.

Fresh, organic produce is delivered to Gilpin County twice a month through the Holistic Homestead.
Local non-profit pools resources for healthy food GILPIN COUNTY The Holistic Homestead, a Gilpin County-based non-profit, grass roots organization dedicated to “improving the health of our community,” began a Community Supported Agriculture program in February to improve local access to fresh, wholesome and healthy food. Members can pick up twice-monthly “shares” of produce delivered to the High Country Professional Building, 972 Golden Gate Canyon Road. Community Supported Agriculture is a way for communities to pool resources and encourage local, small farmers and to bring fresh produce into rural areas. Traditionally, CSA programs require a large up-front expense, but the Holistic Homestead uses Colorado Fresh Produce, a broker for small, organic farmers, to purchase fruits and vegetables in bulk. The broker is able to supply organic produce year round, and with a greater variety than found or grown in Gilpin County, especially in the winter, including oranges, bananas and lettuce as well as tomatoes, onions, carrots, oranges, apples, lettuce, broccoli, potatoes and more. Membership in the Holistic Homestead program is $30 a month for a full share and pick-up is the first the third Saturday of each month. The more members, the greater the selection. Any remaining produce is donated to the Gilpin Food Bank. The Holistic Homestead hosts a Mountain Mama Mother’s Day Tea Party, May 13 from 3-6 p.m. Celebrate Mother’s Day with Mountain Mama tea, healthy snacks, foot baths and rejuvenating herbal face masks. The event is free for moms and kids or $20 for others. New members are always welcome. The Holistic Homestead is also looking for residents who grow enough produce in Gilpin County to sell.

Hours at the store expand to seven days a week, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. “We are excited to get the 2018 season started after another cold and windy winter,” said Annie Hanson, Lake Estes Marina Manager. She added that “several of our staff members spent part of the off-season getting certified to complete the inspections and decontaminations. Our goal is to make the transition as smooth as possible for our customers.” New regulations have been put in place at Lake Estes to adhere to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s Aquatic Nuisance Species Program. Colorado ANS regulations require all motorized and trailered watercraft to submit to an inspection, and, if needed, a decontamination upon entry and exit of Colorado waters following boating out of state, boating on positive or suspect water, or when entering a water body where inspections are required by the managing agency. This inspection requirement includes hand-powered boats brought to Lake Estes on trailers. These rules do not apply to non-motorized boats launched by hand. Although no schedule is currently available for the inspection times, Hanson said the best option is to come into the marina store to request an inwww.mmacmonthly.com
spection. The gate for the boat launch now remains closed and locked outside of business hours, and boats will only be permitted to launch after inspection. “The best way to enjoy early morning or late afternoon fishing is to purchase an overnight dock slip and complete the inspection during business hours,” said Hanson. “We also added a 10-person pontoon boat to increase the availability of boats for rent, which do not need inspection at every use.” Annual and day-use vehicle-use permits, which cost $23 to $29 for annuals and $5 for day-use, are required for parking at Cherokee Draw, Wapiti Meadows and the Lake Estes Marina. Day use is covered by the annual permit. Boat-use fees are also required for any boat launching into Lake Estes, including standup paddleboards, kayaks and canoes. Fees are $5 per boat for a one-day pass or $28 to $46 for an annual pass depending on residency and power source. All boats must launch from the marina area. This is the 60th season of EVRPD’s management of marina. The district, which was called Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Recreation District when it first started managing the recreation on Lake Estes, sold the first boat permit in early May 1958, after taking over operations from the Lake Estes Boat Service. At various times, concessionaires were employed to help with the day-to-day operations. For all of the latest information about hours, inspections, fishing and boating at the Lake Estes Marina, visit facebook.com/evrpd or evrpd.com.

FOOD & DRINK
Making a Stand Tavern focuses on good beer, food, conversation
By Jeffrey V. Smith COAL CREEK CANYON nnette and Tom Lambeth walked away from their careers on the East Coast to “semi-retire” in Colorado and reinvent their lives. Now they’re working harder than ever to make Last Stand Tavern, their recentlyopened business in Coal Creek Canyon, the perfect place for neighborhood residents to gather for “good food, good beer, and good conversation.” The tavern, located in the former Westfalen Hof restaurant, is a sports bar serving traditional American food—including traditional Philly cheesesteaks, hand-made burgers and other house-made selections—along with a large variety of beer. Thirteen large-screen TVs ensure a view of multiple sports, including local teams, major events, pay-per-view happenings and just about anything else, from most any seat in the house. There’s a separate, yet open, bar room and a large dining area featuring a wall of windows framing spectacular mountain scenery. A large, sunny deck is steps away from both and shares the same unobstructed views as the dining area. “Our tag line is actually, ‘It’s not just a sports tavern, it’s a destination,” Annette said. “For people in the canyon, this is kind of their family room and a place they can meet their neighbors. Several neighbors have met each other that have never had the opportunity to do so. But for people that are coming from Arvada or Westminster or Golden, it’s a destination. You’re not just going to stumble across us. You are going to have to really come into the canyon and make this a place you want to go.” According to the Lambeths, Last Stand Tavern was born in the basement of their Philadelphia home many years ago. As an “avid home brewer,” Tom was known to always have a selection of beer on tap for his family, friends and neighbors. As the venue for their annual holiday parties, Last Stand Tavern became “the place to be for great beer, good food, drinks and plenty of holiday cheer.” The concept and spirit of the original—including Tom’s enormous beer can collection—has now been reinvented in Coal Creek Canyon. The Lambeths move to Colorado was not surprising for those who know them. The couple fell in love with the state and the West decades ago during family ski and snowboarding trips, which they took multiple times a year. Their son, Troy, and daughter, Micaela, were equally captivated by this part of the country, and decided to go to college in Leadville and Bozeman respectively. Micaela ultimately transferred to a

COVER STORY
From Mild to Wild Outfitters offer wide range of Front Range raft trips FRONT RANGE olorado is one of the best places in America to experience a white water rafting adventure. More major rivers start here than in any other, and the most popular white water river in the country is in the state. Most begin their runs in astoundingly scenic locations, cutting through alpine forests and carving stunning canyons. With an abundance of professional companies and numerous expert guides offering a wide range of river rafting trips ranging from challenging, adrenaline-pumping white water to more relaxing family-friendly floats, Colorado has it all. The Front Range region of Colorado offers two major whitewater rafting rivers, both unique in their own ways and easy to reach, with companies offering trips lasting a few hours or all day. Located in a historic, mining valley along Interstate 70 about a half-hour west of Denver, Clear Creek is a steep, narrow, technical river that is both challenging and fun. It attracts boaters visiting the Front Range, and those traveling through on their way to the high country. Once on the water, the interstate goes unnoticed as paddlers drop through the steep and narrow bed. Numerous companies provide professionally guided trips on the creek. Excursions offer Class I-V rapids from May to July and sometimes into August. “Clear Creek is the steepest commercially rafted river in Colorado, translating to more rapids per mile and more fun and excitement,” Suzen Raymond, coowner of Mile-Hi Rafting, said. She points out the river is not only close to most Front Range locations, “raft trips on Clear Creek continue to be affordable.”

Clear Creek is the steepest professionally rafted waterway in the state.
The Cache La Poudre River is northwest of Fort Collins and within 90 minutes of Denver and Estes Park. Named by French fur trappers, it has everything from mild to wild including deep canyons and clear waters. Not only does the Cache La Poudre offer great runs, but rafting here is unique since it is Colorado’s first and only federally designated National Wild and Scenic River. Rafters can observe world-class scenery and bighorn sheep, deer, eagles and other wild-life while enjoying Class II- IV stretches of whitewater. Several whitewater raft companies operate out of Estes Park, although river access is out of the area. In both Clear Creek County and along the Poudre, rafting is an easy activity to build an entire vacation around or add to a larger itinerary. Many outfitters offer packages combining rafting with other activities including historic train rides, zip lines, mine tours, ATV adventures, horseback riding, rock climbing, fishing, hiking and mountain biking. The best part of white water rafting is almost anyone can do it. While accidents can happen, the sport is considered safe and fun for people of nearly all

ages and abilities. It is important to know a river trip’s intensity changes by time of year. A trip later in the season could be a leisurely ride through mild waters or, if in May or June, a thrilling adventure through the rapids. Once the decision is made on when to go, choosing a qualified, licensed outfitter offering trips that suit the appropriate skill level is the next step. State-certified companies have all the expertise needed to lead their guest safely down the river and are accustomed to guiding trips for seasoned rafters and those who have never been on the water before. Most outfitters offer a variety of trips—from more family-friendly options that make wonderful experiences for children and first-timers to more extreme adventures for the seasoned veteran—which can be selected based on your experience level, fitness and desires for the trip. Even though winter snows didn’t stack up as in some years, spring snow and precipitation should create perfect white water conditions. “We are planning on a good to excellent season for rafting on Clear Creek,” Raymond said.

Coal Creek Canyon Watershed Partnership presents Barrels and Brews, a rain barrel workshop, May 31 from 6:30 - 8 p.m., at the CCCIA Community Hall, 31528 Hwy. 72. Zachary Lance of the River Network will present a short educational session on how rain barrels play a role in managing water in Colorado.

The workshop is $30 including the rain barrel. Reservations and advance payment are required to take a rain barrel home. Anyone interested in participating for educational purpose only, are welcome to attend without payment. Call 303-586-1491, e-mail jackie@cccwp.org or stop by CCCWP offices at 30509 Hwy. 72 to reserve a space and rain barrel. Visit cccwp.org to learn more.
