So when something truly different comes along, it catches our attention. That's the...

A new study maintains that Colorado has the third most serious drug problem of any state, with the highest percentage of both teenage and adult drug users in the country.

Longtime Denver Post sports sportswriter Terry Frei has been disappeared from the paper following a tweet in which he announced that he was "very uncomfortable with a Japanese driver winning the Indianapolis 500 during Memorial Day weekend."

Zinke's order came as a concern to leaders of the recreation industry as well as conservationists, who say that the Trump administration is putting oil and gas interests first and foremost – even though the BLM leased the second most land in Colorado of any state during the 2016 fiscal year — and threatening public lands just as many are citing Colorado’s conservation efforts as the reason behind Outdoor Retailer’s relocation from Salt Lake City.
