It’s 2025. Katy Perry’s playing outer space, Coachella costs more than your car, and your group chat still can’t agree on a playlist. But Colorado? Colorado gets it right. This summer, the state is leaning into what it does best: killer mountain views, chill crowds, and live music that won’t bankrupt your Venmo.

Whether you're in Denver, Boulder, or somewhere with more elk than Wi-Fi, there's a concert series that’s free or almost free and well worth showing up for. No wristbands. No phone face-scan fumbles. Just music (and maybe a beer garden).

Smart, stylish, and drought-friendly. Yes, your yard can be all three.

Colorado is dry. Not “reusable bottle suggested” dry. We're talking less annual rainfall than L.A. dry. And with increasing lawn watering restrictions and hotter summers, thirsty lawns and imported greenery are getting harder to justify (or maintain).

Let’s get the obvious out of the way: yes, this is a blog about helping the planet. Yes, it includes a list of great local honeys. No, it will not ask you to become a backyard beekeeper or build a tiny bee hotel out of wine corks. Unless that’s your thing. In which case, buzz on.

Think of this as your low-effort, high-impact guide to the best Colorado honey and your playbook to supporting the environment…without composting your entire lifestyle. (Or your pantry.)

Colorado isn’t just about mountain views and craft beer. The state’s walls, alleys, and underpasses double as an ever-changing outdoor gallery. From sprawling, proud murals to hidden, intimate works, street art in Colorado is bold, creative, and unapologetically local. If you’re looking for Instagram-worthy backdrops, thought-provoking visuals, or just an excuse to wander the city with coffee in hand, here’s a Colorado street art map to get you started.
