Less is more: Anyone who has visited the Blue Lakes between Ouray and Telluride knows: it’s crowded. But that’s about to change. The U.S. Forest Service, which oversees the 16,200-acre area, which includes Dallas Peak and Mount Sneffels, officially announced it will be going to a permit system for day hikers and campers from June-September.; Read More

Long criticized for its reliance on coal, Tri-State, LPEA's wholesale electricity provider, received $679 million in federal funds to help speed its transition to clean energy. Maybe this will help clear the air, in more ways than one.

A setback for Colorado's wolf reintroduction, with the patriarch in the Copper Creek Pack dying from a leg injury after being captured for relocation and the future of the remaining four pups and mother looking dubious at best.

This Week's Sign of the Downfall

The Loathsome Camel

Amy Halterman weighed over 400 pounds when she starred alongside her sister on TLC’s “1,000-Lb Sisters.” But according to the arrest records posted by a sheriff in Tennessee this past Labor Day, Amy is down to 230 pounds, which is great! On the down side, she got bitten by a camel at a local safari park, which sucks, and when the cops came, they found weed and mushrooms next to the children in Amy’s car. Then the safari park’s owner claimed that the stoned, tripping lady made up the whole “camel bite” story, but whatever. The point here is that someone in Tennessee lost weight and didn’t get caught with meth. Thank you, TLC.
