In a sure sign of spring having sprung the roads are filled with runners. Now that the seasons have changed and we progress from skiing to our summer sports, people have laced up their Nikes, their Brooks, there Sauconys, their Asics, and most of all this year, their Hokas (they are everywhere!) and taken to the streets. And trails.
The Roaring Fork Valley community appreciates our precious and rare river resources, and it always shows during the annual Fryingpan and Beyond River Cleanup hosted by the Roaring Fork Conservancy. This year’s cleanup will follow.

Flash flood warnings were issued Tuesday afternoon for wildfire burn scars in the Roaring Fork Valley and Glenwood Canyon but passed without much concern.

Rainwater was coming down some Hill District streets but nothing out of the ordinary.
