The Elevated List: The 7 Best Paddleboarding Lakes in Colorado

alt tag

When people picture Colorado, they usually think of jagged mountain peaks, rugged hiking trails, and extreme cycling. They don't typically picture open water and swimsuits. 

But locals know a secret: summer in the Rockies is just as enjoyable on a paddleboard as it is in the evergreens. From hidden glacial reservoirs at 9,000 feet to expansive, wake-free oases just minutes from the city, the Centennial State has become a paddleboarding paradise. 

Who Let the Wolves Out? Colorado's Wolf Reintroduction, 2 Years Later

alt tag

Colorado wolf reintroduction started with the narrow 2020 ballot initiative that required the state to restore gray wolves by the end of 2023. It passed by a margin tight enough to reveal a state split not on science, but on identity. Urban counties voted yes. Rural counties voted no. The mandate stuck.

The Elevated List: Top Colorado Dog Breeds

When it comes to dogs, Colorado doesn’t just roll over for trends — it leads the pack. Between our trail-loving state, dog-friendly breweries, and a statewide ban on breed restrictions, it’s no surprise that we’ve become one of the most dog-forward states in the country. Dogs aren’t just accessories here, they’re gear-tested, terrain-certified co-adventurers. And with more households owning dogs than not, Colorado homes are increasingly built (or chosen) with four-legged family members in mind.

From the Frenchie strutting LoHi sidewalks to the Bernese lumbering through Evergreen snowbanks, each breed signals something about how (and where) Coloradans live. These aren’t just cute companions. They’re running partners, firepit crashers, camping pros, and coffee shop regulars.
