“What the 5280 Staff is Eating at Home Right Now”

As I write this on April 7, there already isn’t much to say about COVID-19 that hasn’t been said. But what I can say with certainty is that the pandemic we’re living through has been difficult on local media companies, especially those, like 5280, who derive the bulk of their revenues from advertising. On top of that, magazines and their websites exist in a unique spot in the media ecosystem. We don’t deliver news as a commodity; we provide information via a distinctive voice, with a point of view, and as an experience. That’s why readers develop lasting relationships with magazine brands in ways they don’t with other journalistic enterprises. ¶ In a world in which life-or-death information changes from hour to hour, lifestyle journalism can struggle to find its footing. As we readied this issue, the new coronavirus pandemic enveloped the United States. We scrapped portions of the magazine that were already done to cover what is sure to become the story of a generation, and we updated articles to reflect our new reality. Our goal during this time is to bring you essential news and the coverage you’ve come to expect from 5280, both in print and at 5280.com. In turn, I hope you can commit—or recommit—to a lasting relationship with us by buying a copy of the magazine or, better yet, subscribing at 5280.com/subscribe. ¶ Wishing you and yours good health.

“Are Delivery Services Saving Restaurants— Or Hastening Their Demise?”

March 26, 2020

After Governor Jared Polis ordered the clo-

sure of Colorado bars and restaurants to help slow the spread of COVID-19, diners’ only

options were delivery and takeout. As this 5280.com article points out, food-delivery apps such as Grubhub

M AY 2 0 2 0

“I’ve wanted to scream every single time the past week I’ve seen some email blast or inaccurate post saying that Grubhub is waiving their fees, because as

this article mentioned, it’s absolutely Not True,” wrote Erin Thorp of Boulder’s Boss Lady Pizza. “Fees are only being deferred to a later date.... This is such an important and educational article for people to read since if you’re not in the industry, you really don’t know what goes on behind the scenes. I hope it is eye-opening and con-

sumers use this knowledge to better support small local restaurants in their communities.”

Gretchen TeBockhorst mentioned that customers might not need to bother with these apps: “Many restaurants are opting to deliver themselves. It’s always best to call the restaurant first to check. This cuts out the middleman entirely.” Along with the story, these comments clarified a confusing situation. “I really appreciate folks helping to clear this up,” Kerry Vee wrote. “I like to think I’m

a generally critical thinker but they really had me fooled.”

March 25, 2020

From two bowls of Lucky Charms on St. Patrick’s Day to cake (and Indian food!) for breakfast, 5280 employ-

ees used the stay-at-home order as an opportunity to stretch the boundaries of culinary conventions. In this

5280.com article, food editor Denise Mickelsen documented the staff’s daring experiments—like digital assistant editor Victoria Carodine’s decadent combination of cookies and cream ice cream, Coco Puffs, and whipped cream. Chris Scott worried about the potential nutritional ramifications: “Pretty funny. But also, not very healthy choices by the talent at 5280.” Most read-

“I hope it is eye-opening and consumers use this knowledge to better support small local restaurants in their communities.”

ers were just happy to learn they weren’t the only ones grazing their ways through their pantries. “So can relate!” Nicole Hegg Yost commented. Sarah Woods agreed: “Reading everyone’s responses makes me feel human.”

CORRECTION In April’s “Inside Stories,” we wrote that Motus Theater recruited local power brokers to read the stories of immigrants living in the United States illegally. They also gathered stories from DACA recipients. We regret the omission.

BEHIND THE STORIES INSIDE SCOOP

After 13 years at 5280, Natasha Gardner knows stories can change during the reporting process. But the arrival of the novel coronavirus in the Centennial State transformed “The Most Important Questions Every Seller And Buyer Should Be Asking Right Now” (page 80), her report about Denver’s real estate market, dramatically. “In January, the conversations focused on the strength of the market,” Gardner says.

“By March, we were talking about keeping people safe, scenarios for economic recovery, and how the local real estate market was adjusting.” Another big change for Gardner? Working from the relative safety of her own house. “Home seems more important than ever now,” she says.

Seth K. Hughes is a gifted photographer of the West’s wild places, and his ability to juxtapose a person or object with expansive mountain scenery made him the ideal lensman for “Get In Gear” (page 68), a beginner’s guide to the rollicking pursuit of off-highway vehicle recreation. There was one catch, though: He was tasked with capturing summery images—at the end of September. “As Coloradans know, winter can easily begin to set in around this time,” Hughes says. “I ran into a brief snowstorm on the Alpine Loop, but thankfully, the photos from earlier that day turned out well.”

Hughes also recently trained his camera on the Top of the Rockies Byway for Vail-Beaver Creek Magazine.

COVID-19 has forced members of Denver’s dining scene to adapt— including photographers who specialize in food and drink. Joni Schrantz, for instance, was compelled to use her home as a makeshift studio to snap pics of the pasta made fresh each morning at Washington Park’s Restaurant Olivia, (“Noodle Know-How,” page 42). “I wanted to make sure the craftsmanship of the pasta wasn’t lost simply because we were doing a story about them offering takeout,” she says. Fortunately, Schrantz is a master of playing up the beautiful shapes and scrumptious textures of ingredients, no matter where she is. Find more of her work in Sipsations, a wine and cocktail book published in 2019.

HOME SWEET HOME

Have you been wondering about the best places to live in the Mile High City? We’ve got you covered. Using our own livability formula, which accounts for sale prices, crime data, school rankings, and an X factor score—you know, that “it” factor that makes an area truly special—we’ve uncovered the 25 best neighborhoods in Denver.

Spoiler alert: This year’s list looks a lot different from last year’s.

Check out the updated rankings at 5280.com/neighborhoods.

When senior staff writer Robert Sanchez began his profile of Boulder’s Kimbal Musk, founder of the Kitchen Restaurant Group, he wanted to understand every part of Musk’s business. That meant touring facilities like Rebel Farm, which grows greens for eateries across the metro area, including Musk’s. But then the new coronavirus showed up. Because he needed to detail the pandemic’s potential impact on the restaurateur in “The Gospel According To Kimbal Musk” (page 90), Sanchez couldn’t include the life-changing leaf he sampled at Rebel: wasabi arugula.

“It tastes exactly as you would figure,” Sanchez says. “I cannot stop thinking about it.”

Losing Touch

Why social distancing feels so bad. And why it’s so good for us right now.

Even if the most optimistic projections become reality, you’re likely reading this while still sequestered at home in your jammies, wondering how long Jack Nicholson spent at that creepy hotel before he started going after bathroom doors with an ax. First of all, good for you: Although you should probably put on real pants soon and, ideally, stop fantasizing about tormenting your family, social distancing—keeping space between you and others—is the best way to slow COVID-19’s spread. Second, yes, isolation really sucks. Back before this pandemic, you probably welcomed a day free of co-workers, friends, and even (if we’re being honest) your significant other. After a month-plus of me time, however, you’d trade your secret cache of TP for just one awkward fist bump from Darren the HR guy. “Something about expressive affection is part of our evolutionary biology,” says Meara Faw, an assistant professor of communication studies at Colorado State University. “It’s helped us survive through centuries of adapting to the hard realities of life.” In other words, physical connection doesn’t only feel good; it also makes our species happier and healthier. Turn the page to learn about that evolution—and why we need to suppress the instinct for a while. —SPENCER CAMPBELL

KISS P OOR HEALTH GOOD-BYE

True love isn’t a fairy tale. It’s science. One theory says humans are attracted to people who have different major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes than they do. (Diverse MHC genes correlate with greater health in offspring.) The intimacy that kissing fosters is our evolutionary way of getting close enough to another person to sniff their natural odors and determine whether our MHC genes are compatible—i.e., physiological kismet. Whatever its origins, locking lips has been linked with a reduction in cholesterol and stress.

“It’s fun to teach my college students that it’s good for you to be really physically affectionate with your partner,” says Colorado State University’s Meara Faw. ABOUT FACE

Since the onset of the novel coronavirus, we’ve been commanded to stop touching our faces with our possibly germ-riddled hands. If only it were that easy. Neurologists aren’t 100 percent sure why we spontaneously fiddle with our faces, but a 2019 study from German researchers claims these gestures are an intuitive reaction to confusion and stress. That tick can be helpful on a normal day. During COVID-19,

however, what was once a steadying temple rub can be a vector for disease.

GENDER STUDIES

Women derive more pleasure from affective touching—aka, comforting caresses—than men do, according to a 2020 analysis by Italian psychologists. The paper theorizes this could be due to several factors. One, the male body produces more testosterone, a hormone known to reduce sensitivity to touch. And two, as primary caregivers, women may have evolved to be more biologically attuned to the tactile needs of children. On the other hand, a 2011 study by the Kinsey Institute reported that frequent kissing and cuddling predicted happiness in relationships for men, but not for women.

WORDS MAT TER

People starved for physical affection—the “skin hungry,” according to Kory Floyd of the University of Arizona—are less happy, lonelier, and more likely to suffer from depression. Fortunately, there are still ways to connect while practicing social distancing.

Faw’s research indicates that parents of children with disabilities—people known to struggle with anxiety and doubt—showed a drop in stress-indicating cortisol levels after a positive 10-minute conversation with a loved one. That means eye contact, attentive body posture, and paralingual cues (the ohs, huhs, and mmms showing you’re present), all of which are attainable if you’re willing to put in a little FaceTime.

RELIGION Why is it important for people to discuss their worst transgressions?

Secrets can be a huge, hidden, driving force in our lives. If there’s a truth in my life that I’m not willing to admit or voice, it doesn’t go away. It just repackages itself as some other anxiety that wakes me up at 2 a.m. I think there’s so much more freedom in admitting what these things are and exposing them to sunlight. The power that our secrets and shame have in our lives disintegrates when we admit what they are.

Full Disclosure

A Denver pastor asks guests to admit their most shameful acts on her new podcast.

People are always telling Nadia Bolz-Weber their darkest secrets. That’s probably because the Lutheran pastor advocates for a version of Christianity that finds grace in vulnerability—rather than one that promotes fear of “an angry, capricious God with a killer surveillance system,” she says. After sharing that message as the pastor of North Capitol Hill’s House for All Sinners and Saints church and in three New York Times bestselling books, Bolz-Weber, 51, is doing the same with a podcast, The Confessional. During each episode, she probes guests about their most disgraceful moments to help show how comforting it feels to come clean. 5280 spoke with Bolz-Weber ahead of The Confessional ’s April 21 debut about why it’s important to air our wicked deeds, the transition to podcasting, and the toxicity Lutheran pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber of social media. —KIM HABICHT

5280: There are a lot of interview podcasts nowadays. How is this one different?

Nadia Bolz-Weber: I listen to a lot of podcasts, NPR shows, and interview shows. Those are great.

There’s nothing wrong with being dazzled by someone’s accomplishments. But I feel less alone when somebody shares their failings with me, something they have anxiety about, or something they regret.

The jagged edges of our humanity are what connect us to each other.

What are some examples of the types of stories you’ll share on The Confessional?

I have—just in this first season—everything from somebody talking about missing the first 13 years of his kid’s life because he was strung out [on drugs] to somebody discussing how they sabotaged a relationship because they couldn’t deal with shame about being gay. I’m interested in how people process these things and how they changed who they are.

A lot of your previous work has focused on forgiveness. Will that be a major theme?

Yeah, it’s an important part of the show. I did an interview with Megan Phelps-Roper, who grew up in the Westboro Baptist Church. [Editors’ note: Phelps-Roper left Westboro in 2012. She’s been a vocal critic of the church’s extreme practices, such as picketing funerals of U.S. soldiers.] Now, people ask, Are you going to make amends to those whose loved ones’ funerals you were protesting? She said, I’ve never known how to do that, because I don’t want to retraumatize people just so I can feel better about myself. I think she’s so filled with compassion that she struggles with the best way to make amends. I wrote a benediction for her at the end of the podcast, and I do the same for every guest.

It seems like it’s more difficult to be fallible in the age of social media.

I have a friend who’s an Episcopal priest named Jacob Smith, and he says, We’re all three bad days away from being an internet scandal—and most of us are already on day two. If somebody uses the wrong word or you find out they said something two years ago that is today not considered a correct thing to say, you can destroy their career. That part of social media is incredibly toxic to me. I want this podcast to be an antidote to that.

Party Favorites The Colorado Democratic Senate primary went from a wide-open race to a fait accompli. Was it all politics as usual?

Early last summer, the candidates running in Colorado’s Democratic Senate primary included a former U.S. attorney, a diplomat, a neuroscientist, and a Baptist preacher, not to mention the usual collection of veteran state legislators. Eight of the 15 hopefuls were women, five were people of color, and one was openly gay. The opportunity to unseat Republican incumbent Cory Gardner in the general election had attracted a large, diverse field. Colorado Dems appeared poised for wide-ranging debates about what issues would guide the party—not only in the June 30 primary and November general election, but also in future years.

That all changed in August when former Governor John Hickenlooper said he would seek the nomination just one week after ending his ill-fated presidential run. The very next day, Hickenlooper announced he’d received the endorsement of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC)—which included a $49,600 donation (the maximum allowed by law) and a promise that popular senators like Kirsten Gillibrand and Kamala Harris would fundraise and campaign for him.

“It’s not necessarily unusual for [the national party] to endorse people in high-stakes primaries,” says Robert Preuhs, a professor of political science at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

Such an endorsement, though, was a powerful flex that caused many popular moderate candidates, such as former U.S. Attorney John Walsh, to back out. It also represented the Cory Gardner second time in two years that the national Democratic Party influenced a major Colorado and John primary before the race arguably had a chance to get going.

During the run-up to the 2018 Democratic primary for Colorado’s 6th Congressional District, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee designated former Army Ranger Jason Crow its early favorite.

Many Colorado progressives decried the party’s efforts to coronate Crow—especially once audio leaked of then House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer telling Levi Tillemann, a former adviser to the U.S. Department of Energy under President Barack Obama, to drop out.

“That type of tension is why the national party doesn’t typically get involved in primaries,” says Seth Masket, a political science professor at the University of Denver.

Nevertheless, that didn’t stop kingmakers in Washington, D.C., from doing the exact same thing before the 2020 Democratic Senate primary—to much the same outrage. Within days of the DSCC’s endorsement of Hickenlooper, six female candidates penned a letter accusing the committee of overlooking qualified women and asking it to rescind the endorsement. Soon after, emails leaked to the Denver Post revealed unrest among state party officials: “It’s getting to the point that people feel, why bother showing up, as decisions have already been made by the higherups?” wrote Paula Ozzello, chair of Las Animas County Democrats. Former Speaker of the Colorado House of Representatives Andrew Romanoff contends U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer tried to browbeat him out of the race and that the DSCC pressured multiple consulting

Hickenlooper has spent little time campaigning against other Democrats. As a result, Hickenlooper has rarely addressed policies that he doesn’t support but are becoming popular in Colorado, where the Democratic base is turning increasingly progressive (see: Bernie Sanders winning the state’s presidential primary).

“Usually, when the national party weighs in, they tend to prevail.” the D.C. contingent is stepping into Colorado sooner than it has in past primaries: Crow’s victory helped turn the U.S. House blue, and Democrats will need to unseat Gardner if they have any chance of repeating that feat in the Senate this fall. In other words, they likely believe these contests are too important to be left unattended. “The national Democrats realize that Cory Gardner is not someone to underestimate,” Masket says.

“There is a reason he is one of only four Republicans to win a statewide race [in Colorado] in the last decade. Hickenlooper is someone with really high name recognition and consistently high voting margins.”

But because he’s a household name with the full strength of the Democratic machine behind him,

Romanoff, for example, has made climate change his campaign’s primary focus; scientist Trish Zornio has trumpeted the merits of a single-payer health care system; community organizer Lorena Garcia focuses on economic justice. “Some of the other candidates are making really interesting points,” says Ian Silverii, executive director of liberal advocacy group ProgressNow Colorado.

“But in the world we live in you need to catch extreme virality or raise a lot of money, because most people are not paying attention.” Which means even if Colorado Dems are trending to the left, the party, thanks to the machinations of its national power brokers, finds itself caught in the middle with Hick.

LIVE AID Constant coronavirus news flashes and continued social distancing might have you feeling helpless, but there is still plenty you can do to serve others right now. Here are four ways to give your time, money, and bodily fluids to aid those most affected by COVID-19. —SM

DONATE BLOOD

When social distancing began, groups like the American Red Cross were forced to cancel dozens of blood drives, leaving area hospitals with a debilitating shortage. As of press time, though, the national nonprofit Vitalant—which has six Denver locations—and local health care providers such as Children’s Hospital Colorado were hosting safe-donation sites. Guests are screened over the phone and at the entrance to make sure they don’t have symptoms related to the new coronavirus and kept six feet apart. vitalant.org; childrenscolorado.org FEED THE HUNGRY

Four Denver organizations—Denver Food Rescue, Bondadosa, Lost City, and Focus Points Family Resource Center—combined forces to create the Denver Metro Emergency Food Network. The group delivers free meals to low-income families and to elderly individuals who are avoiding high-density areas. A $25 donation helps the group provide four meals. denverdelivered.com SUPP ORT LOCAL ARTISTS

After hearing about a fund to help struggling artists in Seattle, Merhia Wiese, a community engagement coordinator for Meow Wolf, set up a GoFundMe page to aid Denver creatives who lost paid gigs due to the pandemic. Artists can apply to receive a portion of the donations. Wiese and a team of Mile High City arts supporters will decide how to dole out the funds (more than $10,000 as of press time), prioritizing folks from historically marginalized groups. gofundme.com/ denver-metro-area-artist-relief-fund BUY FROM A COLORADO BRAND THAT GIVES BACK

Many local companies are passing profits to COVID-19 relief efforts, meaning you can be altruistic by simply purchasing new gear. For example, Boulder’s EcoVessel, which makes insulated water bottles, will give a portion of sales to retail shops forced to close for a period of time, and for every backpack it sells, Denver’s Adventurist Backpack Co. will donate enough money to pay for 50 meals to Feeding America, a national nonprofit that stocks food banks. ecovessel.com; adventuristbackpacks.com

firms not to work with him. However, while its cannonballing into state races might irk local officials, “when the national party weighs in, they tend to prevail—at least in primaries,” Masket says. That’s what happened in the case of Crow, who became the first Democrat ever elected to serve the 6th.

That history of success might explain why

the basin to find healing when they are at a low point.

He is symbolic of the ability to keep moving forward.”

Even Picasso’s perseverance has been tested in recent years. Colorado’s mustangs are relegated to four herd management areas (HMAs) in the state maintained by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

The agency has advised that all four combined should hold no more than 812 horses; Picasso’s HMA alone is home to nearly 800, more than double the suggested maximum of 362. As a result, horses are constantly clashing over resources, and the BLM continually tries to stymie their foal-making (hence, the bait-trapping, which involves injecting mares with contraceptives).

Despite these conditions, Picasso has outlived the majority of his peers and even a few of his estimated 20-plus descendants. As of press time, though, the stallion hadn’t been seen since November. But, as Wright points out, mustangs often find a secluded spot for winter before reemerging in spring. “For all we know,” she says, “he may be hiding in a stash of vegetation, eating away the season.”

—HEATHER BALOGH ROCHFORT

A horse is a horse, of course—unless it’s Colorado’s Picasso, the country’s most famous mustang.

Four years ago, photographers descended upon the Sand Wash Basin to watch the government bait-trap some of the area’s wild horses. But while documenting the controversial practice, meant to curb population growth, the photographers also discovered a star.

As images from the day began to circulate, one horse—boasting a distinctive tricolored coat and a tendency to pose for the camera—stood out. People became so enamored with the stallion they began making trips to the basin, near Craig in northwestern Colorado, hoping to catch a glimpse of him. A Facebook group with more than 15,000 followers attempts to track every move he and his offspring make. This level of devotion has arguably made the mustang, named Picasso, the most famous wild horse in the country.

While good looks certainly helped Picasso’s star ascend, he’s more than a pretty face. Most untamed equines live around 20 years; Picasso is nearing 30.

That longevity inspired followers to crown him king of the Sand Wash Basin. “Picasso is the embodiment of strength,” says Cindy Wright, co-founder of Wild Horse Warriors for Sand Wash Basin. “People go into

OUTDOORS

Brown Folks Fishing is uniting anglers of color online to diversify the sport—and pushing the industry to cast a wider net.

When he learned to fly-fish while a student at Colorado State University, Eeland Stribling felt like the only black angler on the planet. Some fly shop employees assumed he was lost or stupid. White anglers were reluctant to trade advice. Once, two people in a passing truck shouted the N-word at him while he cast for trout. So when the Denver resident was introduced to Brown Folks Fishing (BFF), it was a revelation. “It’s been so good just to know I’m not the only person of color on the water,” Stribling says. “I’m not alone.”

A largely solitary pastime, fishing may not seem like it would require integration. But for people of color, it can be too isolating: 79.2 percent of all anglers are white, according to the Outdoor Foundation and the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation. Started in 2018 by Oregon-raised Tracy Nguyen-Chung, BFF is a nationwide network of anglers working to make room on the dock (or boat or shoreline) for people of color. Regional ambassadors Stribling and Erica Nelson, a member of the Navajo tribe, lead the community-building effort in Colorado.

The first barrier many minorities face is cultural. White parents and grandparents pass down the particulars of casting and mending a line to their children. People Eeland Stribling of color often have to teach themselves. “It seemed like everyone I met on the water in the South Platte River said, ‘Oh, I grew up fishing,’ ” Nelson says. “But I didn’t.” As a novice, Nelson posted

30 5 2 8 0

M AY 2 0 2 0

questions such as Is it normal to hook yourself with your fly? on her Instagram account, @AwkwardAngler. Members of BFF passed along tips.

But BFF’s mission goes beyond support-group status. Buying gear and even a fishing license can be obstacles for people in marginalized communities. BFF hosts free events, such as fly tying or casting clinics, to provide otherwise unaffordable lessons. (Follow @BrownFolksFishing on Instagram to discover meetups and clinics in Colorado.)

Fortunately, the fishing industry seems to have jumped into BFF’s net. Nelson conducts inclusivity trainings for outfitters and brands, including Orvis, a Vermont fly-fishing and hunting company. Orvis, in turn, donates gear to BFF workshops and is making a concerted effort to share people of color’s stories on its social media channels.

“We strive to be a leader in the fly-fishing community,” Orvis chief operating officer Simon Perkins says, “and therefore we have a responsibility to understand how to make the sport accessible to a more diverse audience.”

Last year, Orvis gave Nguyen-Chung its Breaking Barriers Award, which honors those working to improve inclusivity in fly-fishing. To continue that momentum, BFF debuted an Angling for All pledge in fall 2019. Shops and guides who sign on and complete coursework earn a seal of approval along with opportunities to collaborate with BFF. It’s yet another pebble thrown into the community pond—in time, we’ll see just how far those ripples can go. —KELLY BASTONE

THE NCAR LOOP Distance: 3.9 miles Difficulty: Moderate 1. Head to the intersection of Vassar and Table Mesa drives to find an unmarked access point for NCAR - Table Mesa Bear Trail. Hike south on the trail for about half a mile.

2. Take NCAR - Bear Canyon Trail branching right. Enjoy views of the plains, the Flatirons, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesa Laboratory, a modern, geometric building designed by famed architect I.M. Pei. 3. Continue west through Bear Canyon. Keep going about 100 yards past the Mesa Trail turnoff to reach a knee-deep, pup-friendly pool.

4. Double back and head north on Mesa Trail.

Along Dinosaur Mountain, the ridge to your left, rocks shaped like a giant’s fingers jut toward the sky.

5. At the second fork, turn right onto Skunk Canyon Trail, a path leading through a meadow of spring beauties, mahonia, and other wildflowers. A final right onto NCAR - Skunk Canyon Trail leads you to the end of the loop.

3. Hang a right on Lower Big Bluestem Trail and spot wild irises and the rocky ears of Mickey Mouse Wall in the distance.

4. At the fork, keep right along Upper Big Bluestem Trail to reach Brammeier Homestead, where logs and stone walls mark the remains of a (possibly haunted) 19th century ranch house—a neighbor murdered 20-year-old Fred Brammeier there in 1902.

5. Before turning right onto Mesa Trail, pause to enjoy the hike’s best vantage of the knifelike Maiden, the slimmest Flatiron.

6. After 0.9 miles on Mesa Trail, follow North Fork Shanahan Trail back to Lehigh Connector North and return to your car.

(Note: This access point has limited parking.)

2. Merge onto Fowler Trail, a portion of the hike that runs atop an unfinished railroad grade.

3. Continue along Fowler for views of grassy Shadow Canyon and South Boulder Peak. At 8,549 feet, it’s the tallest of the five major peaks in Boulder’s Open Space and Mountain Parks.

4. When you arrive at the sheer, golden sandstone partitions of Eldorado Canyon, look closely for rock climbers scaling Redgarden Wall, a cliff across the gorge. Then turn left onto Rattlesnake Gulch Trail.

5. The steep, 1.4-mile climb along Rattlesnake Gulch Trail leads you to the Crags Hotel site, ruins of a lodging that burned in 1912. Vistas span from Eldorado’s colorful cliffs in the foreground to the snowy Continental Divide beyond.

ESSAY

This was supposed to be an essay about a tree.

Specifically, it was supposed to be about the honey locust in front of my house, one of dozens of trees lining the historic West 46th Avenue Parkway, which turns 100 this year. This was supposed to be an essay celebrating that centennial—a lighthearted look at how my one tree fits into the greater landscape of Denver’s parks and parkways. This isn’t that kind of essay anymore.

As I write this, in mid-March, Colorado has 216 confirmed cases of COVID-19. Four people are dead—and those numbers are climbing fast. So I’m focusing on other numbers. Like the runners (11), dog walkers (six), stroller pushers (four), and cyclists (15ish; they move fast) I’ve seen go by my window in the past hour. On a weekend, this is nothing special. But it’s a Wednesday at 11 a.m.

Laid out in 1920, the West 46th Avenue Parkway is made up of the 13 arborous blocks between Grove and Stuart streets. It was one of the final seams in the Denver Park and Parkway System, an initiative inspired by the City Beautiful movement that took hold of America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its disciples believed parks and parkways could bind a city together and bolster a sense of community. In northwest Denver, friendships were forged on the banks of Berkeley Lake, where a bathhouse encouraged family outings; romances bloomed on strolls around the shoreline of Rocky Mountain Lake. West 46th Avenue connected them both.

In our modern, pre-COVID-19 era, though, West 46th and its bookending parks came to serve somewhat more individualistic purposes. Runners pounded the sidewalks with earbuds in, volume maxed. Walkers of the leash- and stroller-wielding sort barely noticed each other on the lake loops, both thumbs-deep in smartphone screens. The parks and parkway were simply means to an end—exercise, transit, canine relief—not the end itself. That changed in March.

How COVID-19 transformed a Denver street into a connection point for the community.

Now the stroller brigades say hello to the dog walkers.

Instead of nodding to the beat, runners nod to one another. Neighbors sit on front lawns, greeting once-strangers from a safe distance. I recently heard someone playing guitar from their front porch; I might haul mine out and start a block band soon. I bet George would like that.

George is my 96-year-old neighbor. He and his wife raised several children in their little Tudor and spent evenings on the front porch.

Then, a few years ago, she died, and George stopped sitting on his porch at night.

Last week, he got sick and we all got scared. He’s better now, and for the past few days, George has shuffled to a lawn chair next to his house and sits with a blanket up to his chin, bathed in a pocket of sunshine. When he’s awake, he waves at passersby.

In Britain during the Blitz, citizens found reprieve from the horrors of the day in dance halls. Today, in Italy, they sing from balconies. We don’t have many balconies in Denver, but we do have front porches and parks and parkways. These places remind us that although we’re scared, isolated, and uncertain, we are not alone. I hope that after science and society triumph over this virus, we hold on to that legacy.

This is no longer an essay honoring how our parkway came to be. It’s about what it has become and what, for now, it will be: a touchstone where we can share the shock, sadness, and small joys that come with living, loving, and—for some— dying in the time of the novel coronavirus. —KASEY CORDELL

Take It Away Now Carrying out is the new dining out—and the best way to support local restaurants and bars.

When Colorado’s culinary establishments closed to in-person dining back in March in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our Instagram feeds were bursting with friends baking sourdough, searing steaks, and stirring Negronis at home. Some six weeks later, we’re here to help lift you out of any kitchen rut you may have fallen into (see “Get Cooking,” page 44)—and luckily, local food and beverage workers are still rallying to stay in business and feed you well, too, by preparing food and booze for takeout or delivery. One of our favorite quarantine indulgences comes courtesy of six-monthold Daughter Thai Kitchen & Bar in LoHi, which will deliver its gorgeous, aromatic duck curry with flaky roti for dipping; spicy basil chicken with jasmine rice; crispy fried frog leg larb; and even cold Thai lagers and fresh coconut juice. (PSA: Call restaurants directly instead of using third-party ordering and delivery services to keep more of your money with local businesses and avoid paying additional fees.) You can also buy gift cards to use when restaurants reopen or stock up on alcohol and merchandise, from bottles of Italian vino at Attimo Winery in Ballpark or largeformat margaritas at Super Mega Bien in RiNo to comfy T-shirts and hoodies from Steuben’s (we know that’s what you’re wearing right now). It all adds up to helping ensure Centennial State restaurants and bars are still here when we are finally allowed to settle in at their tables again. —DENISE MICKELSEN  Find Daughter Thai Kitchen & Bar’s current takeout and delivery menus online.1700 Platte St., 720-6674652, daughterthaikitchenandbar.com

The Grain King Sit still? Andy Clark rarely sits down.

Clark is the owner of five-year-old Moxie Bread Co, a bakery and coffeeshop in Louisville, and proprietor of the Mill Site, a new wholesale and retail grain mill in north Boulder. Before March 16, when Colorado culinary outlets were closed to in-house dining, Clark’s days were full enough. He would begin by baking farmhouse loaves, croissants, and cookies—all made with organic heirloom wheat—with his crew at Moxie. Then he’d For Moxie run over to the Mill Site to meet with partners like Richard Pecoraro of Boulder’s Bread Co’s Abbondanza Organic Seeds & Produce to plan out which flours, grains, and beans whole-wheat chocolate chip he would sell to home cooks from the Mill Site’s retail shop. Next, he might visit a cookie recipe, local farm to discuss planting heirloom wheat on unused land. All before helping his visit 5280.com. three boys (ages seven, 10, and 12) with their homework.

By late April, the Mill Site’s wholesale operations had fully launched and Clark was grinding blue tinge emmer, Rouge de Bordeaux winter wheat, and Tibetan hulless barley—using a 1917 grain mill he found on Craigslist—to make flour for local restaurants (including Denver’s Dio Mio and Stowaway Kitchen). “People want flour and

bread now more than ever,” Clark says, “so we trained our baristas to bake and have increased daily production from 250 to 400 loaves.”

Other new allies include Boulder’s Shambhala Publications and Roost Books.

Use the code “MOXIE30” to buy The Tassajara Bread Book through Shambhala’s website at a 30 percent discount, and Clark will pop your copy into your next order. “It’s exciting to see the best in people come out,” Clark says, “as we make do with what we’ve got.”

Clark’s wife, Phillippa, is fulfilling online orders from Louisville residents herself, delivering Moxie’s breads and pastries, whole bean coffee, flours, yeast, and newly introduced prepared meals such as chicken pot pie. (Ask nicely and Clark will throw in a free sourdough starter, too.)

Clark’s work with the Colorado Grain Chain, a nonprofit intent on expanding and promoting locally grown heirloom grains, is also reaping results. In midMarch, Clark bought 9,000 pounds of organic wheat and barley. What he’s not planning to mill himself he gave to area farmers: 2,000 pounds went to chef-farmer Eric Skokan (Black Cat Farm Table Bistro, Bramble & Hare) to cook and plant.

Clark is also looking for a partner to grow some of the grain at Longmont’s Sunflower Farm on 40 acres that previously were dormant.

Clark doesn’t like to let much sit still.  Moxie Bread Co is open daily.

WHAT’S HOT Noodle Know-How Chef Ty Leon studied far and wide to bring exemplary pasta to Wash Park—and your home kitchen.

For Ty Leon, fresh pasta is not just a passion but also a subject worthy of intense scholarship.

In fact, in 2019, the chef took himself on a studyabroad program of sorts, working and learning at some of the country’s best noodle joints, including Lilia in Brooklyn and Flour & Water in San Francisco. Leon spent between four and six weeks at each restaurant, absorbing all he could about doughs and shapes and sauces. Today, you can taste what he gleaned from those experiences via Washington Park’s Restaurant Olivia (formerly Café Marmotte), where Leon is currently crafting at least 20 pounds of dough for fresh mafaldine, spaghetti, and more each morning for carryout and delivery. Choose a finished dish such as fusilli with brown-butter alfredo and pine nuts or takeand-bake lasagna ($20 for two servings; $40 for four to six)—or give yourself a hands-on seminar with one of Leon’s pasta kits (pictured). It’s all akin to an edible graduate thesis that needs no defense whatsoever. —DM  Check out Restaurant Olivia’s carryout menu online before calling in your order. 290 S. Downing St., 303-999-0395, oliviadenver.com

T H E D E TA I L S Restaurant Olivia’s pasta kits change daily, but the $35 DIY dinners always include enough food for four people, with your choice of one sauce and one pasta shape. Throw in an extra $10 and Leon and his team will donate a kit to a local family in need.

T H E PA S TA Leon makes his dough with whole eggs plus extra yolks and uses a La Monferrina bronze-die extruder to create short shapes like radiatore. Fewer eggs go into firmer, drier doughs that are perfect for long noodles, such as spaghetti and mafaldine.

THE BREAD Focaccia ($6) dusted with ParmigianoReggiano and herbs is baked fresh daily at Restaurant Olivia, based on a recipe Leon learned at Lilia. It’s practically required eating with your at-home pasta dinner.

THE SAUC E It takes Leon two days to craft his meaty beef Bolognese, which is finished with milk and cream. The vegetarian pomodoro sauce is just as full-flavored, thanks to toasted garlic, San Marzano tomatoes, and plenty of chile flakes.

Piperade is a Basque mixture of peppers, onions, and tomatoes traditionally flavored with piment d’Espelette; here, smoked paprika brings warm flavor, and when puréed, the piperade makes a great sauce for meatballs.

You can make the sauce up to 2 days ahead. If you’d like to add more vegetables to the meal, serve it with cooked spiralized squash noodles instead of pasta. Polenta is also a great match if you want a heartier element. The meatballs can be shaped up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated until ready to cook.

Hair transplants aren’t just for the top of your head. Dr. Harris is also a leader in eyebrow transplants. They are a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure with permanent, natural results.

This treatment made a huge difference to Steve, who lost one eyebrow 20 years ago and was always self-conscious about it.

Dr. Harris didn’t just give Steve a new eyebrow, he gave him a new outlook for the future.

Kosher salt and black pepper

Make the meatballs: Arrange an oven rack in the upper third of the oven and heat the broiler on high. Arrange the jalapeños on a baking sheet and broil, turning halfway, until the skin is blackened all over. (You can broil the bell peppers and tomatoes for the piperade now, too, if you like, or continue with the meatballs.)

Turn off the broiler and heat the oven to 350°.

Let the chiles cool enough to handle, then remove and discard the skin and seeds. Chop the jalapeño flesh and transfer it to a medium bowl. Add the bison, spices, and large pinches of salt and pepper to the bowl. Mix gently to combine; shape the mixture into 12 meatballs.

Cook the meatballs in a single layer on a foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet until the meat is springy to the touch, 10 to 12 minutes.

Remove and keep warm.

Make the piperade: Heat the broiler on high. Arrange the halved bell peppers skinside up on a baking sheet and lightly brush the skins with some of the olive oil. Arrange the tomatoes skin-side up on the same sheet and lightly brush with olive oil. Broil until the skins blacken, removing each pepper and tomato as it’s done. Let cool enough to handle, then remove and discard the skins. Cut the peppers into thin strips and chop the tomatoes.

Heat 2 Tbs. of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the pepper strips, tomatoes, oregano, and pepper flakes and cook, stirring often, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with the vinegar, salt, and pepper. Transfer the piperade to a blender and carefully blend into a smooth purée. Return the sauce to the skillet over medium heat until hot, taste, and add more salt and pepper as needed. Add the meatballs, stir to coat, and serve.

Too Small To Fail

Amid uncertainty, layoffs, and closures, local independent restaurateurs—and 5280’s dining critic—voice their fears and hopes for the Great Reopening.

These, however, are extraordinary times, so I talked with chefs and owners about the damage caused by the mandatory closures and the likely mechanics of the Great Reopening. It was early in the pandemic when we spoke, and details about how federal trillions would be spent were still scant. But I heard predictions that a quarter or even half of local restaurants would not reopen or would fail soon after trying to do so.

ON MARCH 27, President Donald Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act into law.

With forgivable loans to cover rent and the salaries of rehired employees, the aid package should help reduce restaurant mortality, but it will be far beyond May 11—the proposed reopening date, at press time, in Colorado—before we know how broken our hospitality community is. The food and beverage business has always been ruled by the harsh math of low margins. For independent owners, even stellar reviews, national awards, and full rooms never kept that wolfish reality far from the door. In the best times, says Caroline Glover, the James Beard Award– nominated chef-owner of three-year-old Annette at Stanley Marketplace in Aurora, “we are a day-by-day operation. There are only so many people we can fit through our door. Our profit

t was the best of times, and then, in a stir-fry flash, it was the worst of times. Before the novel coronavirus, the restaurant business in Denver—and in most of the country—was experiencing a golden age. Here, our dining establishments both nurtured and reflected an exuberant American food culture: adventurous, multicultural, eager to master the old ways and invent new ones. The northwest side of the city, RiNo, and other neighborhoods roared with Big Restaurant Energy, and recent openings, such as Sunday Vinyl, suggested that Denver was on the cusp of a new, supple urbanity.

Enter the virus, stage left. We became culinary shut-ins. Almost the first effect of social distancing (“Social D,” as my friend Andy Clark of Louisville’s Moxie Bread Co, calls it; see “The Grain King” on page 40) laid bare how much restaurants underpin our desire for social communion, a need almost as deep as our need for food itself. Let’s call that communing imperative “Social C.” In the tug-of-war between Social D and Social C, restaurants were front-line casualties.

The dark question now is how dire the picture will be when the shutdown is lifted. In ordinary times, it’s not the job of customers to know much about the way businesses operate.

margins are just as small as, if not smaller than, other businesses.”

A few months before the pandemic, Glover began making survival plans for the ho-hum recession many economists were predicting. Then, Social D. Despite moving to takeout—which at best falls somewhere between morale-building busy work and life support—she had to lay off most of Annette’s staff. “Every morning I give myself about 15 minutes to cry, and then I start the day,” she told me a week after the layoffs. But three years of fostering community love for Annette yielded a flood of curbside customers. This was a consistent theme from Colorado chefs: the generosity of concerned local diners buying takeout or gift cards or simply texting get-well-soon messages.

“We are a day-by-day operation.... Our profit margins are just as small as, if not smaller than, other businesses.”

Stuckey, the award-winning hospitality doyen of Colorado, runs (with partners) Frasca Food and Wine, Tavernetta, Boulder’s Pizzeria Locale, and four-month-old Sunday Vinyl. He simply didn’t see a safe, viable path to takeout. Intensive, elevated food prep does not lend itself to a six-foot separation for cooks, let alone curbside-friendly pricing.

eral politicians for help. He was also trying to keep his group’s financial powder dry for reopening but warned that it will be a herculean task for many. “When you get rid of all the food to close for two months, and then reopen, that’s a huge cost. It’s more like opening a new restaurant,” Stuckey says. Not only do you have to restock, you likely have to train replacement staff. Will these costs be borne by the federal rescue package? Will the federal loans arrive in time? Stuckey pointed out that longtime and highly trained staff represent a restaurant’s intellectual capital. How much knowledge will have been leached out of restaurants by the time they reopen? How much more will be if the virus roars back to life in the fall?

A low-margin business entails a lot of paycheck-to-paycheck workers. “The most economically at-risk people are the hourly employees,” says Fiona Arnold, president and founder of Mainspring, a real estate development company, who laughs at her tragically bad timing. In the months leading up to Social D, Arnold’s company conceived and bankrolled multiple openings: two expensive-to-launch bars, Queens Eleven in RiNo and Room For Milly on Platte Street, and a second Blue Sparrow coffee house location. (Disclosure: Arnold is a friend, and my wife helped curate the art at Room for Milly.) With the shutdown, her first concern was the talent pool they’d developed through extensive training. “It’s a group of people who are extraordinarily professional,” she says. “Our first thought was, We have to do everything we can to help them through this.” Arnold had the means to keep staff on temporary payroll using personal savings. As a developer, though—Mainspring owns the Backyard on Blake retail collective in RiNo—she also knows the complicated choreography of the employee-supplier-tenant-landlord-bank interplay.

That dance was shattered by Social D, of course. Many landlords were quick to forgive or defer that first month’s rent after the shutdown. But going forward, the question is: How does the federal government quickly pump relief dollars into an economy that extends down past tip-reliant servers and hourly dishwashers to small farmers and food distributors, and also upward, all the way to the lenders? And how does that relief address vulnerable mom-and-pop operations and marginalized hourly immigrant workers, some of whom are living in the country illegally?

Jeff Osaka, whose mini empire includes six casual sushi and ramen restaurants, Congress Park’s fine-dining 12 at Madison, and

BUS I N E S S the Empire Restaurant and Lounge in Louisville, had just laid off most of his employees when I spoke to him. He predicts a different labor landscape after May 11, one in which part-time workers may have fled the scene. “The tried-and-true career restaurant people, those are the ones who are going to stick around,” Osaka says. “Not the people who are just doing that work on the side.”

If so, that could drive up wages for the besttrained staff during a bumpy, costly restart.

Alternatively, there could be a labor glut if many restaurants remain shuttered.

Either way, Osaka worries about all facets of the food chain, from family-run restaurants to farmers and ranchers. “My group is better equipped to recover,” he says. “What hurts me the most are the family-owned businesses and producers that will never come back from this.”

But it was obvious from all the curbside cooking after the shutdown that the crisis could not suppress the energy of local restaurant owners. Consider the example of Sam and Tricia Maher, who launched the vegan restaurant Somebody People just a few months before the pandemic. On the day they were trying to get their takeout system working, pipes above the restaurant burst and the skeleton crew found itself standing in an inch of water.

Days later, despite the slow growth of carryout orders for a new restaurant with an embryonic customer base, Sam sounded almost cheery. Denver itself was a reason why. As an Australian-born chef and manager who has worked in many of the world’s

BUS I N E S S culinary capitals, he likes the recovery odds here. “The good thing about the Denver restaurant community is that everyone is very supportive,” he says. “I’ve worked in Sydney, Melbourne, London, New York City. There are some communities that are just so competitive for the dollar. But this feels like the ideal hospitality community.”

I HEARD VARIATIONS on that enthusiasm from many chefs. One was Alon Shaya, a restaurateur who has been through the wars.

He is the founder of Safta in the Source Hotel & Market Hall and its sister restaurant, Saba, in New Orleans. After Katrina, he chainsawed his way through fallen trees across highways to get back to New Orleans in a Land Rover fueled by $200-per-gallon gas. Years later, he watched his restaurant group disintegrate in a #MeToo conflagration that brought down co-owner John Besh but left Shaya’s reputation intact. He subsequently launched his own brand, one notably voluble about employee welfare.

When the shutdown happened in March, Safta pivoted to takeout and soon joined chef Edward Lee’s (of Louisville, Kentucky) multi-city Restaurant Workers Relief Program, which aims to provide hard-hit restaurant workers with free meals. Shaya advises other chefs to take the long view.

“This sucks, this hurts. You just have to do what feels right for yourself and your team.

Three or four years from now, you’ll understand how much stronger you’ve become.”

Mid-catastrophe, it’s difficult to find perspective. But we do know one thing: Social C will cause the local hospitality industry to reopen with vigor and, eventually, thrive.

It’s the natural inclination of people to seek equilibrium—and recovery—through communion. I witnessed that when I lived in New York City after 9/11 and again after the Great Recession in 2008. New risktakers will capitalize on reduced rents and fire-sale prices on turnkey spaces; familiar operators will reopen their doors. For Denver’s restaurant industry, the new normal will hopefully also include a deeper commitment to equitable pay, health care, and employment and renewed support of local food makers and growers who similarly struggled through the COVID-19 disaster.

Much will depend on us, the customers, who will do our bit with our wallets. Our job then, as now, will be simple: Buy local foods, eat out at independent restaurants as often as we can afford to, and tip large. m

CO M PA S S R E A L E S TAT E As they say, home is where the heart is! A home is where relationships are developed, where kids are born and raised, and where memories are made. When I walk through a home that someone has decided to sell, I think about how new lives and memories will pick up from where others left off. Where once a baby’s cry might have filled the room, a teenager’s music can soon shake the walls. When I view a kitchen, I envision it as a place where family and friends will congregate at parties and holidays. Real estate is a home and homes are people’s lives, hopes and dreams! My philosophy is to do my best to capture the essence of what a home has meant to someone or what it can mean to someone in the future.

Much as it does with hunting and fishing, the state charges an annual fee for off-highway vehicle recreation—but, fortunately, the outlay is minimal. Colorado Parks & Wildlife (CPW) charges just $25.25 for either an OHV permit or an OHV registration decal. Off-highway vehicles with license plates (like your Jeep Wrangler) need permits to ply offroad trails. Those without state-issued plates must be registered but don’t need permits.

GET IN GEAR

Off-roading isn’t like navigating the streets of LoDo. You’ll need a different skill set—and mindset— to negotiate backcountry routes’ variable terrain. We solicited advice from several off-road guides to help you get where you want to go, safely.

WHEN YOU ENCOUNTER...

YOU SHOULD...

A BIG OL’ BOULDER

Resist the urge to swerve around it (possibly going off-trail to do so) and position your tire to run right over it. Proceed very slowly—there’s a reason why they call this rock crawling.

A RIVER OR CREEK

First, check to see that the far bank has a gentle enough grade (if it looks too steep, it is too steep) for you to exit the water. Second, make sure the water isn’t deep enough to reach the bottom of your vehicle’s doors, which can quickly turn your OHV into a very poor boat.

A STAIRSTEP GOING UPHILL

Make sure to maintain your forward momentum so you can roll through the obstacle. Coming to a full stop creates a scenario in which the vehicle needs to encounter resistance under its tires to move forward but doesn’t have space to do so before hitting an impediment.

AN AREA WITH SAND, MUD, OR SNOW

Air down your tires so the pressure is roughly 20 pounds per square inch (or lower). Put your vehicle in fourwheel-drive low. Starting in second gear will help with traction. Keep your momentum. Note: If it looks like you might get stuck, you probably will. Err on the safe side.

A TREE TRUNK LYING ACROSS THE TRAIL

Go up and over it if the tree trunk is relatively small. If it’s too large, you could get high-centered. The better move, if you’re unsure, is to turn around and alert the land management agency.

A SECTION OF TRAIL THAT LOOKS LIKE YOUR FAVORITE MOGUL RUN

Drive right over these so-called “whoops” because that’s part of the fun. With enough seat time, you’ll learn to choose the best lines, but if you’re looking for a smooth ride, off-roading may not be your bag.

BEHIND THE WHEEL Matt Balazs founded On Trail Training to help four-by-four drivers have fun— and avoid mishaps.

5280: You’ve been offroading since you were a kid, so is it safe to assume you’ve seen some carnage?

Matt Balazs: Definitely. I teach from my mistakes and others’. I once tried to drive through a twofoot-deep snow drift. Only it wasn’t two feet; it was a four-foot dip full of snow. I had to dig my way out of my window and then dig the vehicle out too. This is why I tell students to carry a foldable shovel.

What other useful advice do you give your clients?

I do a driving skills class and two recovery classes. All of them are hands-on and on the trail because that’s how you learn. In the skills class, I use the boring part of the trail to work on basics, like knowing where your tires are. Then we do some more advanced skills, like having a driver climb uneven terrain so she can feel how far a vehicle can lean before it might tip.

We also talk about things like how power is distributed to your wheels and using gears instead of brakes.

We look at “witness marks”—spots where other vehicles have hit something—and talk about how to avoid making more witness marks.

What’s a recovery class?

Getting stuck is just part of off-roading. It’s going to happen.

So you need to know how to safely get unstuck. Recovery can be dangerous because you’re using winches and cables that, if they fail, can be moving 1,500 feet per second. In these classes, we talk about equipment selection, how to design recovery systems with failsafe mechanisms, and what to look for when hooking up a vehicle.

off-roading in…

Arapaho National Forest

Gear up for an unguided side-by-side adventure near Grand Lake.

Located roughly three miles from downtown Grand Lake and just feet from Arapaho National Forest’s Bowen Gulch Protection Area, On The Trail Rentals is off-roading’s version of a gondolaadjacent ski rental shop. With fleets of shiny OHVs lined up outside, a wall of helmets inside, and staff who will guide you toward experience-level-appropriate routes, On The Trail provides everything required to spend a few hours bouncing along 130 miles of trails lined with lodgepole pine, aspens, gin-clear mountain streams, and wildflowers. For the uninitiated, reserving a side-by-side (two passengers; $255 for two hours) is the least intimidating way to get an off-highway adrenaline rush.

Outfitted with a roll cage, grip bars, seat belts, and a typical steering-wheel-and-two-pedals setup, these cousins of the dune buggy feel secure, whether you’re Tokyo Drift-ing it along gravelly forest system roads (speed limit: 25 mph) or pitching and rolling along two-track paths. And since you’ll grab a hard-copy map of the trail system—color-coded by the good folks at On The Trail, which at press time was scheduled to open for the season in mid-June—you don’t have to worry about getting lost or ending up on some switchback-laden, double-fall-line trailway to hell. onthetrailrentals.com

MAP YOUR COURSE: For a leisurely two-hour spin—with time built in to ooh and aah at the views of Shadow Mountain Reservoir and Grand Lake—drive your UTV out of On The Trail’s gate onto North Supply Road (trail number 120.4), veer left onto South Supply Road (119.1), and hang a left onto Kawuneeche Road (120). You’ll cruise 120 south until you reach the parking lot at the Idleglen trailhead; there you’ll look for a way-too-skinny gate along the north end of the lot. It’s a tight fit, but your UTV will squeeze through, putting you on Soda Pass Trail, a rollicking two-mile ATV route that loops you back to Kawuneeche Road.

An abbreviated guide to understanding where

you can be, where you can’t be, and how to use Colorado’s OHV trails.

ALWAYS SUNNY TRAIL

5280

TRAIL NAME AND NUMBER OHV riders must obey all signs posted at trailheads by the Bureau of Land Management or the U.S. Forest Service. Some are vertical posts (seen here); others look like common road signs. Although this signage is typically up to date, the Forest Service’s annual motor vehicle use maps are always your most au courant field guide—and supersede trailhead signs. These maps are generally posted on ranger districts’ websites.

AT V SYMBOL ATV trails are open to OHVs that are 50 inches or smaller in width. Keep in mind that aftermarket addons can make ATVs—which are typically narrower than 50 inches—too wide. There is no emblem for UTVs/ side-by-sides. Many UTVs measure wider than 50 inches; if that’s the case, they cannot use ATV trails (because they won’t fit and because trying to make them fit can harm vegetation along the trail) and must stay on paths for high-clearance, fourwheel-drive vehicles only.

MOTORCYCLE SYMBOL The motorcycle badge is just one of eight symbols seen on trailhead signs in Colorado. If a symbol appears under the words “Open To” or without a red slash across it, that route is open to that particular use.

HIGH-CLEARANCE, 4WD VEHICLE SYMBOL Badges with red slashes through them or that appear under the words “Closed To” indicate that the trail does not accommodate that specific use.

COTREX knows all the places your OHV can go in Colorado.

Although the U.S. Forest Service’s motor vehicle use maps can be helpful and that time-worn atlas in your seatback pocket comes in handy more often than you’d think, the very best way to find OHV trails in the Centennial State is COTREX. Launched in late 2018 by Colorado Parks and Wildlife (in conjunction with 236 land managers and organizations as part of the Department of Natural Resources’ Colorado the Beautiful initiative), the free downloadable app—and companion website—is an interactive encyclopedia of more than 45,000 miles of local trails. OHV enthusiasts will love that COTREX allows users to search for trails by mode of transportation—motorcycles, ATVs, and OHVs wider than 50 inches.

They’ll also appreciate that clicking on a trail produces detailed beta about things like length, fees, seasonal closures, elevation range, trail numbers, and the land management agency responsible for the area. Furthermore, the ability to download maps through the app in the event you lose cell service—and save your routes with detailed notes and photos— is key for returning to a trail you might otherwise never find again.

Maybe the most compelling reason to use COTREX for the off-roading set, however, is that all of the paths are official, legal routes, meaning you won’t ever get that is-it-OK-for-me-to-bedriving-here uneasiness almost every OHV operator has felt at one time or another. In 2020, look for COTREX to add realtime land-manager-approved closures and a function that will show upcoming trail maintenance volunteer projects. trails.colorado.gov

San Juan National Forest

Your full-size, lift-kit-outfitted, four-wheel-drive vehicle was made to get dirty on southwest Colorado’s Alpine Loop.

Living in Colorado, where breathtaking natural beauty abounds, can sometimes have the bizarre effect of making us inured to the splendor. But no matter how immune we think we’ve become to the tableau of snowcapped peaks, the Alpine Loop makes us susceptible once again. A 75-mile system of backcountry trails connecting the San Juan Mountains towns of Ouray, Silverton, Ophir, Telluride, and Lake City, the historic network of roadways no doubt makes other, lesser scenic byways envious. With views of no fewer than eight 13,000-plus-foot mountains and enveloped by five designated wilderness areas, the loop’s environs are stunning, even by Centennial State standards. Finding vistas such as these often requires expert four-by-four skills. Fortunately, the Alpine Loop can be all things to all off-roaders.

Open to dirt bikes, ATVs, UTVs, and high-clearance four-wheel-drive SUVs, the majority of its trails are tame enough for beginners, so long as precipitous drops aren’t vertigo-inducing deal-breakers. A few stretches, like Black Bear Pass and Poughkeepsie Gulch, are no-nos for rookies—but if you’ve been itching to work that suspension in a spectacular setting, San Juan National Forest is calling.

MENTAL NOTES: Your 4Runner is perfectly suited to the Alpine Loop for lots of reasons, not the least of which is that it’s also street legal, making it easier for you to access the byway than it is for ATV, UTV, and dirt bike riders, who must trailer—or get a shuttle to take— their unplated rides to and from trailheads. However, your street-legal whip still needs an OHV permit to ply those paths. OHV permits can be purchased online (cpwshop. com) or at nearby authorized sales agents in Lake City (Dan’s Fly Shop or the Sportsman), Telluride (Telluride Outside), and Silverton (San Juan Services).

remedy for all the ills he believes motorized use wreaks on flora, fauna, and humans seeking the refuge of the wilds, he says mandatory and/ or increased education for all OHV operators in Colorado would help.

“That’s where Stay The Trail comes in,” says On Trail Training’s Matt Balazs, who also happens to be the former chairman and a current board member of nonprofit Stay The Trail, whose mission it is to reinforce conscientious OHV use. “We offer responsible-use education to people who are new to the state, new to the activity, or who just don’t know that what they’re doing is a problem.” Stay The Trail, whose name is its guiding principle, used 505 volunteer hours to make contact with more than 8,900 off-road-curious Coloradans in 2019.

“We go to trailheads to educate people,” Balazs says. “We explain things like how alpine tundra vegetation is incredibly fragile and doesn’t regenerate well if tread on by off-roading tires.” Stay The Trail volunteers also participate in trail improvement projects; help disseminate educational materials at festivals around the state; and work with OHV owners to

make sure their rides are compliant with Colorado sound laws.

That might not be as much education as Sobal has in mind, but it certainly doesn’t hurt. Plus, says Fletcher Jacobs, state trails program manager for the Department of Natural Resources, the pathways that motorized recreationists use are always multiuse—and OHV permit and registration fees pay for a lot of upkeep on paths that hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians use for free. “Sharing the trails is important,” Jacobs says. “These are our avenues to getting to Colorado’s beautiful places. But there is an impact. From everyone. The easiest way to keep resource damage to a minimum is to stay on the trail, because it was built for and is maintained for the use.”

99 DBA The maximum decibel level that an OHV may emit in Colorado. Anything louder is a violation of the 2008 Colorado Revised Statute 25-12-110. The Department of Natural Resources says noise complaints from the public are rare; however, those with sensitive ears like to note this level of sound is four times louder than the average car.

Fugitive dust. Soil compaction.

Reduced habitat connectivity. You’ll find these words and phrases—none of them with definitions that describe anything good—in nearly every environmental report you read about off-highway vehicle use. Whether the study is from the Bureau of Land Management or the U.S. Forest Service or another agency, the consensus is the pursuit has a detrimental effect on natural resources.

This, of course, shouldn’t be a surprise to Coloradans who have time and again witnessed that all recreational use—motorized or not—impacts nature’s ecosystems (see: Conundrum Hot Springs, Hanging Lake, and Mt. Bierstadt).

But there’s no denying the fact that the negative impacts of one reckless OHV driver far exceed those of, say, one careless hiker. “Irresponsible OHV use results in damage to the land, soundscapes, and habitat—and creates conflict,” says Tom Sobal, director for the Quiet Use Coalition, a Chaffee County–based organization that works to create and protect nonmotorized uses on public lands.

“Especially the use of OHVs off designated trails.”

As such, the Quiet Use Coalition has lobbied against the continued expansion of motorized access and what it sees as lax enforcement of OHV regulations by state and federal land managers. In some cases, their politicking has worked; in others, it hasn’t. Sobal says although there clearly isn’t a magic-wand

Get a feel for four-wheelers during a guided tour of the high passes and alpine meadows surrounding historic Camp Hale, 30 minutes from Vail.

It’s been 55 years since the U.S. military used a wide valley tucked between Leadville and Minturn as a training ground for mountain and wintertime warfare. Yet some of the remnants of this installation, dubbed Camp Hale and used by the famous 10th Mountain Division, are still visible today. At least, that’s what Nova Guides’ tour leaders will tell you during your pre-ATV-ride orientation. History buffs might be left feeling underwhelmed by the ruins—there’s not much left to see—but those seeking an adrenaline rush will be more than satisfied with the program. Tours ($175 for drivers, $85 per passenger), which last two hours, leave from the Lodge at Camp Hale and wind up through bumpy, rock-filled paths in the White River National Forest. From Ptarmigan Pass, the blown-open panorama affords views of Copper Mountain in the distance. The riding here isn’t at all scary or particularly challenging, but having a guide to follow allows novice drivers to mimic the line and enjoy the ride without fretting over directions.

Plus, Nova’s guides are well versed in the area’s geography, wildlife, and even a few tales from the annals of Camp Hale, if the historian in your family wants to ask. novaguides.com

DRESS THE PART: Most outfitters, Nova Guides included, provide helmets, but it’s always smart to bring goggles or sunglasses; wear closed-toe shoes, long pants, and multiple layers on top; and stick a bottle of water, a rain jacket, and a bandana to keep dust out of your nose and mouth in your backpack. Before COVID-19, Nova Guides’ morning and midday tours included lunch at the Lodge at Camp Hale, but tucking a granola bar in your backpack is a good idea regardless of whether or not lunch will be served.

If you’re taking your vehicle 30 miles from nowhere, you need to be prepared for…anything. Along with food, water, and clothing for your planned outing, you should have the following stashed somewhere in or strapped onto your OHV in case your joyride turns into a much less enjoyable excursion. “Most people need something bad to happen to get prepared,” says On Trail Training’s Matt Balazs, who helped us compile this basic list.* “You don’t want that to be you.”

LOST & FOUND

There is a variety of personal locator beacons (like ACR’s ResQlink, $300) and satellite communicators (such as Spot X’s Two-Way Satellite Messenger, $250) on the market; having one can be a literal lifesaver if you’ve ventured too far afield and encountered trouble.

SURVIVAL MODE If your truck is sinking into a river and you can only grab one thing, you’ll want it to be your 72-hour bag. Your emergency-supplies duffel should have everything you need to survive for three days, including water, food, warm clothes, a winter hat and gloves, wool socks, a compass and map, a water filter, a knife, a tarp, a Mylar blanket, a small cookstove, a head lamp and batteries, a hatchet, waterproof matches, a lighter, a multitool, a toilet-in-abag kit, a first-aid kit (like this one from Colorado-based Outer Limit Supply), a whistle, and duct tape.

BACK-UP PLAN Punc-

tures happen.

Make sure you have a basic jack and a sturdy, full-size spare tire that you know how to access (it’s often more difficult than you might think).

GE T A GRIP Turns out that putting your floor mat under a spinning, hopelessly stuck tire doesn’t always work. Instead, invest in traction boards (roughly $300 for two), which actually provide a grippy surface for tires to bite into.

AIR STREAM For less than $100, you can purchase a small portable air compressor that allows you to fill up your tires on location—a valuable capability if you’ve aired them down to drive over, say, sand or snow but then need to get on the highway or if you pop a tire and need to plump up your spare.

*Ideally you should have a full tool kit, spare belts, extra fluids, replacements for universal joints and fuses, and a full recovery system; however, beginners who don’t know how to implement these things might want to stay on less risky, less isolated trails until they learn.

A quintessential tool for off-roaders, the Hi-Lift jack (around $120) requires some know-how, but it can be used when your everyday jack is too feeble or too small to do the job on tricky terrain. It can also be deployed as a hand winch, a spreader, or a clamp.

DIGGIN’ IT When you want to be able to slide your traction board under that stymied tire, you’re going to need a folding shovel (about $25, it fits better in the back than a full-size version) to make some space between the rubber and the mud.

If you want to experience the thrill of OHV use without actually having to drive, Wildside 4x4 Tours in Estes Park will give you a lift.

For most off-roading hobbyists, getting behind the wheel is the entire point. If they’re not steering over rocks or giving it enough gas to get some air over the bumps, then they’re not having any fun.

Four-wheeling virgins, however, might consider going for a test drive in the passenger seat before taking that shiny new Range Rover—still flying those temporary plates—across a river. Estes Park–based Wildside 4x4 Tours offers three trips, rated medium to wild, that give OHV rookies a carefree, jaunty introduction to the pastime. The outfitter employs highly modified, safari-style trucks that can bump up 1860s-era wagon trails, tackle rough boulder fields, and get enough speed that passengers sometimes feel themselves lifting off their seats (safely, of course). Tour drivers, who know exactly how to provide riders with just the right amount of bump-induced exhilaration, also know that slowing down to take in the beauty of Roosevelt National Forest can be just as invigorating. Passengers are given plenty of time to jump out of the multipassenger OHVs to walk off the turbulence, snap photos, and take in the vistas—especially from the outfitter’s private panoramic viewing tower. wildside4x4.com

SELLER QUESTIONS

Well, Denver: It’s been quite a journey.

Over the past decade, we’ve experienced what just might be the metro area’s most volatile period of growth ever and a record-setting real estate market. The ride hasn’t been smooth, but this past winter it felt like we were due to catch our breath and figure out what the heck just happened. “We’ve never experienced a run-up like that,” says Kerron Stokes with Re/Max Leaders. “We’ve had a decade with no punctuation.”

But then March came—and it brought with it so many question marks. COVID-19 dramatically changed Coloradans’ daily lives. We altered the way we do business. We filled our cabinets with toilet paper and booze. And we stayed home.

As such, your home is something you’ve probably spent a lot of time thinking about recently. Maybe you’re dreaming about more space. Perhaps you’re looking to downsize. Or it’s possible that life has shifted and home means something different to you today than it did months ago. Maybe, just maybe, you’re starting to think about buying or selling.

If you are, it’s difficult to predict what’s next. What we do know is that Denver’s real estate market was booming this past winter. Sellers were in charge, thanks to extremely low inventory, which forced buyers to compete against multiple bids at almost every price. Some buyers, however, had learned how to demand more concessions, giving them a modicum of control. Meanwhile, brokers obsessed over pricing so that a house wouldn’t sit on the market for too long.

As the market returns, some of those factors will remain relevant.

Others won’t. So, we talked to real estate experts to find out some of the questions you should be asking now.

“We’re going to keep buying and selling,” says Re/Max’s Lisa Nguyen. “We just need to figure out how.”

SO, YOU WANT TO SELL…

The real estate market was tilted in your favor earlier this year—but that doesn’t mean you can just put your house on the market when things pick up again. Buyers are tired of Denver’s boom, and they’re taking their frustrations out by being a lot pickier about putting in offers. But with a little prep, you’ll be ready.

COVID-19 has changed everything. What will happen if I try to sell my home?

photo galleries. And then came the stay-at-home orders—and the market slowed down even more.

“I wish I had a crystal ball,” says Regina Jackson, the owner of Action Jackson Realty. “I think we have to wait and see how this is all going to shake out.” And while we wait, there was one thing many of the experts we talked to agreed on: You can expect more virtual solutions in the real estate market as it adapts. In other words, make sure your home is camera-ready.

If COVID-19 doesn’t derail my plans to sell my home this year, could the 2020 election?

Conventional wisdom tells us the real estate market slows during election years. And—before things get political—we should point out that the slowdown isn’t dependent upon which party is in power or who’s on the ticket. Buyers and sellers just hesitate when ballots are imminent.

Fortunately, Denver’s market has been relentless enough that the election may not be a major factor. In general, the Mile High City’s economy is more diverse (gone are the ’80s, when our fortunes were heavily tied to the unpredictable energy market); people continue to pour into the metro area and need homes; and major events that could have slowed sales in Denver, including trade war news and the government shutdown, didn’t halt metro-area sales in 2018 or 2019. Of course, COVID-19’s influence could be a different story. In short, the

upcoming election may have less of an impact on home sales because Denver’s reality is more complex than it once was. “Regardless of what happens with the elections,” says Re/Max’s Lisa Nguyen, “I just don’t see Colorado’s market affected as directly [by that].”

My neighbor’s house sold for an outrageously high amount a couple of years ago. Does that mean I can price my abode above that?

QUESTION

3

If there’s one thing brokers can agree upon, it’s that pricing a house is an art form.

But, you might ask, hasn’t that always been the case? Isn’t that what we pay agents to do? Those

are fair questions, but in the past 12 months, pricing a house in the metro area has become increasingly tricky.

Here’s why: Appraisers gather prices from nearby sales (“comps,” in real estate parlance) to estimate a house’s value. But they typically use data less than six months old, which means the maximum sale prices we saw in 2018 are no longer relevant (and the impact of stay-at-home orders this spring could impact prices later this year). Put another way, the mega price tag on your neighbor’s house from that time period isn’t as applicable as you probably want it to be.

“There are a lot of people who didn’t catch up to the fact that the market was different last year, and they were pricing incorrectly,” says Jill Schafer, a Realtor with Kentwood Real Estate and chair of the Denver Metro Association of Realtors’ market trends committee. “They were trying to top the last sale when you needed to be slightly under it.” Now, brokers will need to be even more savvy to figure out pricing as the market recovers.

Surprises, while lovely when you’re celebrating a birthday, aren’t as much fun when you’re trying to sell your biggest financial asset. Why not learn ahead of time that you really should trim that tree, replace the roof, fix the sewer line, install a new water heater, or repair the trip hazard on the sidewalk? You’re probably not going to do all of that, but figuring out what you might want to patch up beforehand can make the negotiating process smoother—and buyers will appreciate a move-in-ready, up-to-date listing.

“When I have high-dollar properties, I will say to the sellers, ‘You need to get an inspector in here and fix all the stuff that needs to get fixed now,’ ” says Action Jackson Realty’s Regina Jackson, “so when

the house is ready to sell we don’t have all these hiccups around inspection.” Although a pre-inspection can cost between $300 and $400 for an average-size house, the outlay is often worth it to avoid disruptions in the negotiation process, which could include anything from a buyer requesting a price reduction to cover a drywall repair to a deal dissolving completely over a questionable roof.

And putting a house back on the market isn’t ideal. “The sellers lose all their leverage after that,” says Kentwood Real Estate’s Britt Armstrong.

QUESTIONS FOR EVERY BUYER AND SELLER

QUESTION

6

Should I consider one of those new iBuyer services?

No, iBuying isn’t the latest Apple release. It’s a general term for companies that pay cash for houses they fix up and sell. If that sounds a lot like the “We Buy Houses For Cash” flyers you see on posts around town, you’re right. The difference is scale: Instead of an investor buying a few houses in a select geographic area, iBuyers buy and sell many, many homes. (For example, Opendoor—a major iBuying company—has worked with 70,000 people since it launched in 2014. It entered Denver’s market in 2018.)

Because buyers and sellers using iBuying services don’t need a broker, these companies could end up disrupting the marketplace. As a result, Keller Williams’ Kato Mitchell says these companies are “one of the biggest stories in the market right now.”

Here’s how it works: With Opendoor, for example, when you want to sell, you fill out an online questionnaire about your house. (When was it built? How many bedrooms? How old is the refrigerator?) Opendoor only buys homes in the metro area built after 1960 and valued between $150,000 and $600,000, but if your home fits those parameters (and others), the company feeds your info into its algorithm and sends you a price for your home. If you accept the offer (the service is free up to this point), you name your closing date.

Opendoor charges a fee—around six and a half percent of the sale price, in the Denver area—and buys your home. And. That’s. It. No messy

inspection process. No 45-day closing period. Within two weeks, you could have cash for your home. Opendoor spokesperson Patrick Mahoney says it works particularly well for sellers who want convenience.

Although it might sound fantastically hassle-free, not everyone is sold on the practice because Opendoor purchase offers can be less than what a seller would get in an open, competitive market. Still, since 2018, Opendoor has had more than 1,000 customers in the Denver metro area. (In mid-March, the company halted all acquisitions nationwide in response to the pandemic.

Notably, other iBuyer programs, including one launched by Zillow, were also suspended.) The technology could rattle Denver’s real estate market, but not all brokers are worried. “I believe, because of their emergence in the market,” says Re/Max Leaders’ Kerron Stokes, “it has demonstrated the benefit of working with an agent.”

MIND THE GAP

Based on projections, the metro area had fewer homes for sale than it should have had in February, which drove up prices but also left sellers in a bind when they needed new homes.

QUESTION

If I sell, will I be able to find a comparable home in the metro area?

Experts will give you a solid “maybe” on this one. “There are two kinds of key changes in the demographics of [local] homeownership,” says Kentwood Real Estate’s CEO, Gretchen Rosenberg. “One is that people are staying in their homes longer than they used to.” Another change relates to what she calls a self-fulfilling prophecy. “People don’t want to put their houses on the market because they’re afraid they won’t find a replacement,” she says. Essentially, potential sellers say they want to move but think there is no home out there for them to purchase. It’s a classic chicken-or-the-egg quandary.

Opendoor analyzed its Denver-area data from June 2018 to July 2019 to find out what features drove down a home’s sale price.

Has COVID-19 cooled the market?

At press time in early April, it was too soon to say how everything from stay-at-home orders to the economic impact of layoffs might affect the market long-term. “Clearly we are in unprecedented times,” says Usaj Realty’s Megan Ivy. But, she adds, “even now, buyers are buying and sellers are selling and we have [more] people in the pipeline to resume those activities.”

Many aspects of the real estate market were deemed essential, and others have adjusted. For instance, real estate closings in Colorado require “wet signatures,” meaning that a buyer and seller can’t e-sign, so title companies had to improvise and started offering drive-by and contactless options to close deals. So, in summary, the market keeps moving—albeit at a slower pace.

QUESTION

2

I love, love, love this house. Should I write a letter to the sellers about why?

The short answer is no. We know it was all the rage for a while, so let us explain: Would you ever write a note to a used car salesman explaining why he must, must, must sell you that 2017 Subaru because you dream of summiting all the state’s fourteeners (with attached photos of your yellow Lab to win him over)? Of course not; it’s a business transaction.

And, although there are emotions involved, purchasing a home is too.

In home sales, the practice of letter writing has gone out of favor because these missives were creepy at best (why does a seller need to know the middle names of all your pets?) and, at worst, created an opportunity for discrimination. For example, all that detail made it possible for a seller to reject an offer because of a buyer’s race or gender or sexual orientation—or, at least, for there to be a perception that he or she did. “We started to see a lot of litigation in the marketplace,” says Kentwood Real Estate’s Britt Armstrong. To protect both buyers and sellers, Armstrong’s team stopped accepting letters.

QUESTIONS FOR EVERY BUYER AND SELLER

That decision is part of a larger push by agents to ensure the home buying and selling process is nondiscriminatory. Locally, the Denver Metro Association of Realtors formed a committee four years ago to look at this very issue, and the group has attracted national attention for that effort.

Perhaps it can’t undo the effects of generational racism in the housing market, but it facilitates conversation.

“We thought if we formed this task force…we could be another voice in the real estate community,” says Re/ Max’s Lisa Nguyen, who serves on the committee. “We can give education…[and] we can teach people about fair housing.”

Probably not. At least, that’s what Mary Kate Morr has learned on her house search. Morr grew up on Denver’s north side and fondly remembers a childhood in a tightknit community, learning in diverse classrooms where she, as a white student, was often in the minority.

she says. “I think it is a government problem.” Local and state politicians, for example, could work to preserve affordable housing and incentivize developers to build more. Solutions could also include requiring developers to build more units at a variety of prices and looking at every aspect of real estate transactions to ensure that discrimination doesn’t occur.

In the meantime, Morr is still searching for answers. In response to her queries, she’s received advice that if she does buy, she should get to know the neighborhood, learn its history, and support its businesses and individuals. Which, after all, seems like counsel we can all use to be better neighbors.

Now back in Denver after graduating from college, she’s dreaming about buying her first home and wants to live in a neighborhood like the one in which she grew up.

And therein lies the problem: The more she thinks about investing in a property, the more she wonders if her future purchase will contribute to gentrification.

Morr’s not the only person asking; brokers are hearing similar concerns from buyers who want to make sure buying their dream home doesn’t irreparably alter the character and fabric of a neighborhood.

Megan Ivy, who’s worked as an agent for Usaj Realty in Denver for five years, says the question comes up frequently—and doesn’t have a simple answer. Says Ivy: “A lot of people who don’t want to contribute to gentrification may not be able to

Broker Regina Jackson, who co-founded Race 2 Dinner, a group that hosts discussions about race and white privilege, says that she too has had conversations with clients and friends on the topic, but she believes the solution is bigger than one real estate transaction. “I don’t think it is an individual problem,”

Are fixer-uppers worth it?

Not so much. That’s not because finding and fixing up a home that just needs a little TLC isn’t still appealing; we like home improvement reality shows as much as you do. The problem is that escalating sale prices and rising construction costs across the metro area are making potential fixer-uppers (as well as fix-and-flip properties) difficult to find. It’s a sentiment echoed by others in the industry.

“The spread just isn’t there like it used to be,” says West and Main Homes’ Stacie Staub. “We’re not seeing the fixer-upper [on the market] that DIY-happy millennials can get into.” Plus, more and more buyers want the work done before they buy a home. “HGTV has totally changed buyers,” Kentwood Real Estate’s Gretchen Rosenberg says.

For a while, it looked like lower interest rates—the Federal Reserve dropped the federal funds rate, which is the rate that banks pay to borrow money from the government, twice in March—might make homes more accessible. But mortgage rates don’t move in tandem. When the Fed made its announcement, homeowners flocked to refinance their homes, which (and we’re oversimplifying here) helped push the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage average up. The changes were tumultuous enough that lenders had trouble keeping pace (and that was before stay-at-home orders). But, if mortgage rates do stay reasonably low, the amount people can afford to spend on a home might grow. Fairway Independent Mortgage Corp.’s Nicole Rueth estimates that someone who was looking to buy at the $450,000 level in January 2019 might have been able to add more than $50,000 to that number in March. m

Bad news, folks. There haven’t been deals in Denver in a long time.

While COVID-19 may change that, it may still be the case that it’ll be a struggle just to score a home, much less get a bargain. On average, in February, homes were on the market for 35 days, says Megan Aller, an account executive with First American Title Insurance Company. But for a home in the $200,000 to $399,000 range (one of the most competitive), the average was just 22 days.

If you’re finally ready to give up renting; if you hope to trade up from that starter home; if you want to add an investment property to your asset portfolio; or if you’re otherwise really, really serious about buying: Talk to a mortgage broker to get your finances in order. You should get prequalified for a loan and figure out what you can truly come up with for a down payment before you even look at listings. “People have to know what they can afford,” says Kentwood Real Estate’s Jill Schafer.

We’re serious. And so are sellers (and, more importantly, so are their brokers). If you’re just browsing and don’t have lender documents to back up an offer, don’t be surprised when a homeowner doesn’t take your interest seriously. And while cash-in-hand offers (yup, that means buyers have, say, $650,000 in cash) have dominated the real estate scene lately, lenders are working to make other buyers—who typically take out a mortgage and make a down payment—equally enticing to sellers. “Cash is still king, but we can come close,” says Mike Kenevan, who is a senior loan officer at Amerifirst Financial.

Much like finding the right broker is key, so is selecting a lender. “Pay attention to who is on your team,” says Usaj Realty’s Megan Ivy. “You want a lender

the Monday of the week that America began to fall apart, Kimbal Musk drove the few miles from his house to downtown Boulder and had a martini with his wife, Christiana, an environmental activist. That day in March would be their last date night out for a while.

The spread of COVID-19 was shutting down entire countries, medical centers were being overloaded in Europe, and investors were driving financial markets down. As Kimbal and Christiana looked around the

at the French Culinary Institute in New York City (now known as the International Culinary Center). He ended up in Colorado two years later with his first wife, artist Jen Lewin. That he had moved into the “food space,” as he calls it, and eventually turned one Boulder restaurant into a formidable chain of locally sourced eateries across the country made him something of a star in the industry. The New York Times wrote about him, and he has appeared everywhere from the Today Show to CNBC. A fan of author Michael Pollan and his real food movement, Musk built a miniature empire over the past decade and a half that focused mainly on ingredients sourced from local growers and ranchers. With his restaurant business expanding in Colorado, Musk

created the nonprofit Big Green, which has built hundreds of learning gardens for schoolchildren in underserved populations across the country. In 2016, he co-founded Square Roots, an indoor urban farming accelerator in Brooklyn, and he has invested heavily into a portfolio of food-related projects while also developing partnerships with foundations and governments in several cities across the country. Three years ago, the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship—a sister organization to the World Economic Forum—named Musk one of its social entrepreneurs of the year.

Musk travels throughout the world, giving speeches and interviews about how he believes his philosophy “nourishes the consumer, nourishes the farmer, nourishes the community, and nourishes the planet” and how his ideas can fix much of what is ailing society, particularly in inner cities. “He’s interested solely in worldchanging projects,” says his friend and Square Roots co-founder Tobias Peggs. “Kimbal moves 100 miles per hour, and sometimes, you just kind of try to keep up.”

By late winter of this year, before the pandemic, that momentum had encouraged Musk to return as CEO of his restaurants, a position he’d held before stepping away in 2018 to focus on other investments and on all three of his real food companies. “I could live on the beach,” Musk says, “but that doesn’t make me happy.”

Though he’d remained the Kitchen’s chairman and pushed the business’ expansion into new markets, the restaurant group had begun to stumble. Two venues had closed in the past two years—one in Glendale, off Colorado Boulevard, and another in Memphis. A second Memphis restaurant was operating under mediocre reviews and appeared to be teetering.

Even so, he was in demand. He was set to give the keynote at Expo West, a major food trade show scheduled this year in Anaheim, California, where Musk was looking forward to proselytizing to a crowd that would include food entrepreneurs and executives from Whole Foods Market. Square Roots had raised millions in capital and recently signed a contract with the food-distributor giant Gordon Food Service.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO KIMBAL MUSK

GROWING UP IN SOUTH AFRICA,

Violence was everywhere. “You kind of lived in fear all the time,” Musk says. “You think that someone is going to try to kill you every day, all the time. There was a low value of human life.”

Musk and some friends traveled to anti-apartheid rallies in Johannesburg, the South African capital. One day, when he was a teenager, Musk says he saw a man get stabbed in the head with a knife and die. The teenage Musk stepped into the dead man’s blood, and as he fled, dark red shoe prints marked his trail.

Elon left South Africa in 1989 to attend college at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, and Kimbal followed a year later.

The move was transformative. “It was like being let out of prison and everyone wants to give you flowers and give you a hug, and the sun is shining the whole time,” he says. “After basically coming from tribal warfare, this was the nicest group of people I’d ever met.”

He studied business. Kimbal and his brother read newspapers together, identifying interesting people—bankers, baseball team executives, journalists—and then trying to set up meetings with them. While Elon eventually moved to the United States and enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania to finish his undergraduate degree and attend graduate school, Kimbal became a franchisee with a painting company and earned money for his tuition and rent. He became so successful that he began to save money. He interned at a bank—what he’d imagined to be his dream job—but found the atmosphere stifling.

Elon earned his master’s degree at Penn in 1995 and then moved to Northern California. Again, Kimbal followed. The internet was in its infancy back then, and Elon was playing with the idea of linking online map directions with businesses, like an early Google Maps.

Kimbal became a co-founder, and the brothers, along with a third partner, developed Zip2, a city guide that later counted the New York Times and the Hearst Corporation as clients. Kimbal was the salesman of the two, the charismatic counterbalance to the more

the middle of three kids sharing time between divorced parents, Musk liked two things: cooking and selling. When he was a young boy living in a suburb of Pretoria, Musk painted Easter eggs and went door to door in his upper-middle-class neighborhood, offering the eggs at 20 times his cost. If neighbors balked at the price, he explained the money was supporting a budding capitalist. He sold every egg.

Musk started cooking when he was 12 and discovered his food could bring his family together. He’d throw together some fish and greens, maybe chop some potatoes and make fries for Elon and their younger sister, Tosca. “I could create something, and it made people happy,” he says.

Despite those memories, he says, “it was not a good childhood.”

When he was just a few years old, he witnessed the emotional and physical abuse his mother, Maye, suffered under his father, an engineer named Errol Musk, stories about whom are detailed in Elon Musk’s eponymous biography. In the book, Elon calls his father “an odd duck” who was “good at making life miserable—that’s for sure.” Kimbal simply calls him a “very deranged man.” Musk and his brother lived with their father for a time as teenagers, though they rarely saw him.

South Africa in the 1980s was a threatening place: The system of apartheid was crumbling, and the government was in disarray.

growing thousands of pounds of mint, basil, and chives.

The hopeful talk of expansion and turnarounds, in hindsight, now seems both naive and insignificant. Expo West was eventually canceled because of concerns about COVID-19, a disappointment at the time that portended far worse things in Musk’s universe. Restaurants and many other businesses most certainly will fail because of the pandemic.

It’s difficult to imagine Musk will be immune from the fallout.

reserved, geeky Elon. Everything at Zip2 was a shoestring operation. They showered at the YMCA. They had fistfights in their office when they disagreed. In 1999, when Kimbal was 26, Compaq acquired their business for $307 million.

After the sale, Elon continued to work in Silicon Valley; Kimbal needed to step away. “You’re just shitting bricks all the time,” he says.

“You do enough [startups] and it just wires your system where you’re constantly worried.” So he went to cooking school in New York City. He met Lewin, fell in love, and got married. Musk invested in another of his brother’s ventures, an online financial services and email payments company that later became part of PayPal, which was acquired in 2002 by eBay for $1.5 billion in stock.

On a cross-country trip that same year, Musk and Lewin discovered Boulder. The pair was struck by the calmness of the city and enthused by the region’s history as an incubator for natural brands like Celestial Seasonings and Wild Oats. Musk and his wife met Matheson, a veteran of London’s famous River Cafe who’d moved to Boulder a few years earlier. “By that time, Kimbal was extremely successful, but he didn’t talk about any of it,” Matheson says. “He was just a guy who had an intense love for cooking and for creating food that not only tasted good but had a mission.” The trio co-founded the Kitchen in 2004.

SIX YEARS LAT ER , on February 14, 2010, Musk was on vacation in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, with his family when an inner tube he was riding down a hill flipped and sent him headfirst onto the ice.

The resulting impact crushed the area between Musk’s C6 and C7 vertebrae—the base of his neck—and left him without feeling in his arms and legs.

Just two years earlier, he’d survived near bankruptcy as Tesla struggled to hit target goals for its first battery-operated vehicle, the Roadster. Now the company was just months from going public.

Musk’s Boulder restaurant had taken off, and he’d begun running a real-time online search business, OneRiot—jumping back into the world he’d desperately wanted to escape just years earlier.

“I felt ashamed,” he remembers of his time in the hospital. “People projected on me what I’m supposed to be. It’s very complicated, a spiral of anxiety. I felt like I’d just ended my life. I’m 37 and a quadriplegic.” Motionless in his hospital bed, he had an epiphany: “I thought, my love was food. If I walked again, I’d focus on food and not care what people think. It was a restart to my life.”

A doctor suggested surgery on Musk’s damaged spine, and three days later, he regained feeling and movement in his extremCONTINUED ON PAGE 184 ities. It would be another two months of

THE PROCESS How we come up with the Top Dentists list.

This list is pulled from the 2020 topDentists database, which is created using peer evaluations and includes listings for more than 900 dentists and specialists in Colorado. To create its list, topDentists asked dentists and specialists a personal question: “If you had a patient in need of a dentist, which dentist would you refer him or her to?” The nomination pool comprised all active dentists listed online with the American Dental Association as well as with dental academies and societies. (Dentists could also nominate others who may not be on those lists.) Respondents were asked to consider experience, continuing education, manner with patients, use of new techniques and technologies, and physical results. After the responses were compiled, dentists were checked against state dental boards for disciplinary actions to make sure they have active licenses and are in good standing. We realize there are many fine dentists who are not on this list; a dentist’s inclusion is based on the subjective judgments of fellow dentists. For more information, visit usatopdentists.com.

THE COVID-19 COMPLICATION How the novel coronavirus is affecting dental practices—and what you can do at home.

They may not receive as much social media fanfare as shuttered restaurants and bars, but many dental practices are small businesses, too, and have been negatively affected by the pandemic. The suspension of nonemergency medical procedures in Colorado from March 23 to April 26 (in Denver, April 30) was intended to help slow the spread of COVID-19 and to preserve personal protective equipment for health care workers treating people with the new coronavirus. Patients with urgent dental issues—gum infections, knocked-out teeth, and mouth pain that might send them to an overwhelmed ER—were still asked to call their dentists, who would open clinics to provide treatment. Carrie Mauterer, president-elect of the Colorado Dental Association (CDA) and a dentist at Thornton’s Appletree Dental, agreed with the decision but noted that “as we delay routine dentistry, we could see issues rising.” The CDA was advising practices to extend hours to catch patients up once they were allowed to fully reopen. If you’ve had to put off a cleaning, you’ll want to get it rescheduled ASAP, but in the meantime, Mauterer encourages the following actions if they’re not already part of your twice-daily brushing routine. — J E S S I C A L A R U S S O

FLOSS DAILY. You should be doing this anyway, but it’s an extra important habit if you’re delaying a cleaning because plaque that’s not dislodged can harden into tartar—a gingivitis-causing mineral deposit that can only be removed by a professional.

START BRUSHING WITH A TINY SMEAR OF FLUORIDE TOOTHPASTE when your child’s first tooth appears, and begin flossing as soon as two teeth touch.

USE A MOUTHWASH WITH FLUORIDE, which helps prevent decay.

VISUALLY CHECK YOUR MOUTH FOR ULCERS OR GROWTHS. If you have a canker sore that lasts for more than two weeks, call your dentist.

SET A TIMER OR PLAY A FAVORITE SONG to the two-minute mark to ensure kids are brushing for the recommended time.

PULL YOUR CHILD’S LIPS UP AND CHEEKS OUT to look for bumps, pimples, or growths on their gums, and call your dentist right away if you see anything abnormal, which could indicate a tooth abscess.

These are complicated times for our country and community.

Local journalism is more important now than ever before. Chalat Hatten & Banker PC has renewed its commitment to 5280, Denver’s Magazine, to help keep 5280’s award-winning reporting, editorials, and features accessible in print and online throughout this crisis.

Our hearts go out to the families who have lost loved ones to the COVID virus.

And to the courageous first responders, doctors and nurses whose actions we see every day on the news. The whole nation is fighting and suffering together.

To stay informed, go to CHALATLAW.COM/COVID for a new resources page with links to the various City, County, and State “stay-at-home” orders; the local and national health recommendations; and the Colorado state and federal judicial policies and closures. We think that it is more helpful have the facts—to have access to the orders and recommendations—than just to get the hype.

As a Board Certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, Dr. Esposito feels fortunate to have served the greater Denver, Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Lakewood, Greenwood Village and surrounding areas for 20 years.

During this time of COVID-19 crisis, now more than ever, the dedicated team at the Implant and Oral Surgery Center remain focused on patient safety and a sterile surgical environment. The Implant and Oral Surgery Center ensures D P -1 2 2

patient safety by using state of the art sterilization techniques, universal PPEs, 3D CT Digital scanning technology, laser soft tissue treatment, digital patient education, Electronic Medical Records, modern anesthesia monitoring equipment and advanced anesthesia education for the entire surgical staff.

In an effort to provide for all patients, Dr. Esposito maintains active privileges at two of the top-tier (LEVEL1) hospitals in Denver. Although the focus of the Implant and Oral Surgery Center is to maintain excellence in wisdom TEETH AND TITANIUM™ dental implants, Dr. Esposito’s level of expertise in hospital-based trauma and reconstruction allows patients the safety of hospitalization, outpatient surgery or surgical intensive care environments.

SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION

This dedication to patient care and safety benefits those patients with severe dental anxiety, complicated medical histories and advanced age.

Dr. Esposito received his education at Cornell University, the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine and Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. He continued his General Surgery training and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery specialty training at Vanderbilt University, as well.

After receiving his Doctorate in Dentistry and his Doctorate in Medicine, he received his Board Certification from the American Board of Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons. Becoming a Board Certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon confers upon Dr. Esposito the title of expert in wisdom TEETH AND TITANIUM™ dental implants. To further his expertise, Dr. Esposito continued his international study of dental implantology and was granted Diplomate Status from the International Congress of Oral Implantologists.

His dedication to higher education was recognized again when he received his Fellowship in the American College of Surgeons.

Dr. Esposito has been fortunate to work alongside the best general dentists, prosthodontists, orthodontists, endodontists and periodontists in Colorado for 20 years. Dr. Esposito and his referring dentists are often called upon to treat the most anxious patients and those with the most complicated wisdom TEETH AND TITANIUM™ dental implant needs. Dr. Esposito and his supporting dentists have watched thousands of these patients enjoy

TO P D E N T I ST P R O F I L E S 2020

outstanding results and beautiful smiles previously considered impossible.

This multidisciplinary approach to the demands of the modern dental patient provides the most consistent quality of care available.

Dr. Esposito considers this recognition of excellence by his peers a great honor. Please be certain to chose an expert in wisdom TEETH AND TITANIUM™ dental implants when selecting your dental healthcare providers. The Board Certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon is trained to provide exceptional dental surgery as well as the exquisite attention to detail necessary to create a safe and sterile environment. This specialty training allows Dr. Esposito and his team the opportunity to exceed the expectations of every patient, every day.

It provides an ideal balance between art and science, and our desire to attain an amazing career in the healthcare profession where we can utilize our creative skills. Our “boutique” concierge style dentistry is laserfocused on being patient-centered and providing the highest quality care using cutting-edge technology in an ultra-modern environment. As husband and wife, we share a vision to deliver comprehensive care while helping patients explore and implement dental and facial strategies to help improve their lives. Our ultimate goal is to meet and exceed our patients’ vision of optimal health.

Our dedication to dentistry is evident with our consistent engagement in advanced training. From inception, following dental school, we both built our foundation with post-doctoral residencies to grant us a higher level of proficiency and acquire expertise in collaborating with our patient’s physicians and other dental specialists to deliver outstanding dental care. Over the last twenty-two years, as premium providers of IV “sleep” sedation, oral surgery including implants and complex dentistry, we have been committed to staying abreast of the latest information and honing our skills through a variety of advanced continuing education training. Our proudest moment came in 2015 becoming the first husband and wife duo to achieve the highest credential as Diplomates and Board Certified Implantologists by the American Board of Oral Implantology/ Implant Dentistry.

Our dental philosophy far exceeds traditional general dentistry. By implementing the most current and scientifically proven methods with the ultimate level of competency and experience, we can treat even the most complex dental issues.

Whether patients are seeking dentistry as a preventative or needing extensive treatment, our experienced team can help them create “Smiles For A Lifetime.”

While clinical expertise and advanced technology are essential to obtaining superior results, it is our commitment to individualized care that truly sets us apart. We understand the unique needs of our patients, especially those in their golden years. We feel incredibly fortunate and honored that our patients have put their trust in us, to not only be a part of their personal healthcare, but also for their family and friends whom they continue to refer to our practice.

If you demand the best for your dental needs, we’d like to welcome you to Cherry Creek Dentistry—your new dental home.

For over 20 years, we have been creating incredible smiles. We are experts at combining state-of-the-art technologies so our patients can have the amazing smiles they desire and treatment options that fit their lifestyle. We are proud to use the latest orthodontic advances to make sure our patients have the best treatment available.

“I love what I do and enjoy lecturing around the world to other orthodontic specialists,” says Dr. Rudman. “I have also invented some of the technologies utilized in orthodontics today and enjoy the unique insight I gain from consulting with leading orthodontic manufacturers.”

We were the first office in Denver to treat patients with Acceledent, a scientifically proven technology to shorten treatment by 30 to 40 percent. We are also an Invisalign Elite Provider, a status that is reserved for only the most experienced orthodontists, and we utilize the i-Tero Scanning System for our Invisalign patients, which makes impressions a thing of the past. So whether you’re 8 or 80 years old, want colorful braces or invisible braces, Invisalign or selfligating treatment, our staff with over 150 years of experience will ensure your smile opens doors.

We will help you understand insurance and offer affordable payment plans.

We are proud of our patients and, in fact, our website features some of our patients and their incredible smiles.

Our philosophy, “We are here to make you smile,” goes far beyond treating your teeth. It’s about feeling great about your experience with us.

Let us help you discover your smile.

Our team at Downing Street Dental strives to provide a comfortable and inviting environment for all of our patients. Although we are a small practice, it allows us to provide personalized and patientfocused dentistry.

Our team is among the best in the Denver area! Not only do we care for our patients with gentle hands, but we also enjoy getting to know them on a personal level and educating them on their oral health. We treat patients of all ages and particularly enjoy caring for children in our practice. We believe that by teaching children at a young age about the importance of oral health and habits, they will likely hold on to those well into their adult years.

For our patients’ convenience, we provide a variety of services within our practice. Beyond traditional dental care, we also offer services such as implants, root canals, and Invisalign. We ensure emergency services as well, whether it be during or outside office hours, Dr. McLain is available to patients to alleviate any discomfort.

We sincerely enjoy what we do and the impact we have on patients’ lives on a daily basis. We continue to grow, but our goals and philosophy remain the same. Practicing dentistry in the right waywith plenty of personalized attention, gentle hands and a wide variety of services all under one roof.

Won’t it cost more to see a specialist?

DR. JULIE LESNICK

Surprisingly, no. Our fees, like most offices that accept insurance plans, are regulated by those plans. We often find that our surgical fees are less than what a general dentist will charge.

12

Some of our most common questions from patients include: Why should I see a specialist?

Do I have a choice in the anesthesia that I want?

Absolutely. During your personal evaluation with one of our surgeons, we will offer choices and then mutually decide the option that most comfortably fits your needs.

DR. SARA WEINSTEIN

Will it hurt?

DR. GREGORY INGALLS

All surgical procedures involve some postoperative discomfort.

Everyone’s experience is unique to them. We take care to address all methods of pain control and treatment follow up, especially in light of the opioid crisis.

Please give us a call to discuss the “who – what - where and whys” of your oral surgical needs in a private and comfortable setting. You will speak with the exact surgeon who will be delivering your health care to develop an individualized plan.

BRENNA MCLAIN, DDS Dr. Steven Zervas has been serving the South Denver Metro area for 18 years. A second generation dentist, he imparts a conservative treatment philosophy learned from his father and uncle. “Our philosophy at Village Dental is to treat patients their whole life. We strive to establish relationships and history with our patients, to learn about their life and health, and treat them individually.� Dr. Zervas offers procedures in dental implant surgery, root canal therapy, and dental prosthetics. He is also an Invisalign Preferred Provider.

Dr. Suzanne Laudert has been practicing in South Denver Metro for over thirty five years.

Dr. Brenna McLain, also a second generation dentist, joined our practice after her 5 year tenure at The Pentagon.

She recently earned Diplomate credentialing from the Academy of Clinical Sleep Disorders Disciplines which is a title held by fewer than 300 Dentists world wide.

Village Dental offers the entire scope of dental procedures all within one office. This allows the patient to achieve their desired results faster and more affordably by eliminating the travel and cost from specialist to specialist.

You deserve the most advanced care for your overall health and wellness.

Our treatment philosophy is based on microbiological therapy to address the bacterial presence within your tooth and is coupled with a minimally invasive approach. Anti-bacterial treatment prior to completion of your root canal aids your immune system with healing while conservation of tooth structure maintains the innate strength of your tooth. These two simple principles help ensure predictable long term results for retention of your natural teeth.

Do this until the rice is al dente, meaning that when you taste a single grain of rice, the outside is cooked and there is a bit of resistance at the very center. It is better to stop early, as the risotto will continue to cook while you finish adding the remaining ingredients and serve.

The finished dish should have distinct grains of rice surrounded by a brothy sauce. There should be enough sauce so that the liquid is “ondolante,” meaning wavy.

Add the cheeses and remaining butter and stir to combine. Serve the risotto in soup bowls garnished generously with Parmigiano Reggiano and lots of freshly ground pepper.

Sweeping Front Range vistas delight via open garage doors in the teaching kitchens and on the breezy patio, where you can celebrate your achievements.

Social Distance Curriculum: The experts

Preorder and then pick up your kit, which will include everything you need to make entrées like bacon-wrapped filet mignon with smashed potatoes and brandy cream sauce. The kits also contain a prepared appetizer and dessert (chocolate truffle cake!), so all you have to do is tune in to a one-hour cooking class on Uncorked’s website and follow along to cook your main course.

To make the biscuits on their own, bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Serves 6 For the biscuits: 10 Tbs. cold unsalted butter 2½ cups (11½ oz.) all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling 2

tsp. granulated sugar

2

tsp. baking powder

¼ tsp. baking soda 1

tsp. kosher salt

¾ cup cold buttermilk, plus more as needed

½ cup frozen corn ½ cup frozen peas 1

tsp. white wine vinegar

Make the biscuits: Prepare the butter by quartering it lengthwise and then cutting each quarter crosswise into ½-inch pieces. Freeze the butter in a small bowl while you measure out the dry ingredients, combining them in a large bowl. Using your fingers, gradually smush the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles very coarse cornmeal with a few larger lumps of butter remaining.

Add the buttermilk and stir until the dough gathers into moist clumps, adding up to 2 Tbs. additional buttermilk, 1 Tbs. at a time, if the dough is dry. Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and form into a rough ball. Roll out the dough until it is ½-inch thick. Using a round 2½-inch pastry cutter, stamp out 8 biscuits, taking care not to twist the cutter as you cut, which will seal the sides and prevent the biscuits from rising properly. Transfer the biscuits to a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate while you prepare the pot pie filling.

Make the pot pie filling: Heat the oven to 400°. Melt the butter in a large cast-iron pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic and cook, stirring often, until soft, about 6 minutes. Add the mushrooms and green beans and cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms are tender, about 8 minutes. Add the thyme, and season generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring for 2 minutes.

Slowly and gradually whisk in the stock and then the milk. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and add the chicken, corn, peas, and vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Arrange the biscuits over the filling and bake, covered with foil, for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until the biscuits are golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. m

bed rest, then a lengthy, painful rehabilitation, before he’d walk again.

When he returned to the Kitchen, he focused on expanding upon the lessons he’d learned in Silicon Valley and bringing them to the food industry. But life hadn’t gone back to normal. He and his wife divorced. His brother had run into production issues again at Tesla and then at SpaceX, problems that trickled down to him as a board member and major stockholder in both companies.

The only things going well were his restaurants: Within five years, he opened eight establishments, all of which were based on the locally sourced philosophy.

Big Green came online in 2011, followed by Square Roots five years later, which garnered national coverage for its use of shipping containers, hydroponics, and hyper-specific LED lighting to grow the equivalent of two acres of produce within a 200-square-foot container.

Hundreds of millennial urbanites applied to be among Musk’s first farmers, learning everything from how to set humidity levels to how to control sunup-sundown schedules through an app connected to each container. Musk has promoted the Square Roots project as a way to move agriculture to the heart of urban communities, where fresh greens are not easily procured, and has said the business can be set up in any city worldwide that has a Wi-Fi connection.

“Some people like to talk about the good things they can do, but Kimbal is the rare person who actually walks the walk,” says Peggs, his Square Roots co-founder and a former Walmart executive who befriended Musk more than a decade ago. Musk has, according to Peggs, a remarkable ability to quickly shift his attention from one task to another, often within the same conversation. “In five minutes, he’s giving you the 30,000-foot view of the company’s future, and then he’s down to three feet, telling you how to get better taste out of Genovese basil,” Peggs says. “There’s no one else like him.

It’s remarkable.”

MUSK DIDN’T JUST give up his old life after the tubing accident. He admitted that the world he’d constructed for himself had been flawed, that he was chasing the idea of something rather than the thing itself. Despite having left Silicon Valley to escape the anxiety, he realized he’d become addicted to the particular mindset of the valley, the roller coaster of the startup world. “One day you think you’re going to die,” he says, “and the next day you think you’re going to take over the world.”

Sitting near the bar at one of his Boulder restaurants this past winter, there was an aura of unfinished business about Musk. He has a message written on the wall at the Kitchen group’s headquarters that encourages employees to “move fast and break stuff.” Silicon Valley axioms, apparently, die hard. At that moment, however, Musk was more contemplative about how this next move would impact all the ones that come after. Yes, there were restaurants to run, but it seemed Musk was thinking more in terms of his legacy. “I do have an ego,” he said. “Everyone has an ego. But I don’t think mine’s attached to my businesses anymore.”

He now assesses his life in one-year chunks. He makes a full accounting of who he is and what he’s done in the past 365 days. It’s a simple equation: Where is he today? Where was he back then? He considers the relationships he has with his second wife—whom he married in 2018—his three children, and his stepdaughter. He thinks about the connections he’s made in his life, the places he’s gone.

What more can he do? That’s the question that appears to gnaw at him.

When he left his post as CEO of the Kitchen, he felt burned out and wanted to spend more time with his family as well as take on new challenges—whether that was setting up learning gardens in Detroit and Indianapolis, reviewing plans for shipping containers in Michigan, or launching his idea for a worldwide Plant A Seed Day. His time away allowed him to recalibrate things in his mind. “Kimbal’s biggest fear is that he’ll be left alone on a deserted island with a piece of fish and a banana leaf,” Matheson says. “He wants to be working, creating, doing stuff. He wants to be in the middle of things. He loves action.”

“Am I happier with myself?” Musk asks. That’s a fairly complicated question when your goal is to change the way

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO KIMBAL MUSK the world consumes its food. “Some people think you have to be willing to sell your soul to get ahead. I’m not going to do that. I never want to lose who I am.”

WHEN MUSK LISTENS to a story, he picks out certain details and has the unusual ability to turn difficult facts into a lesson about finding a way out of the depths.

Both he and his brother have said running a startup is like “chewing glass while staring into the abyss.” But in his world, there’s always a path. You just have to work hard enough to find it. There’s a book Musk loves, called King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine, by Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette, which has shaped the way he thinks about himself and how he traces his own evolution. The book is marketed as an “introduction to the psychological foundation of a mature, authentic, and revitalized masculinity.” He sees parts of himself in this definition of masculinity—who he’d been, who he was today, the man he wants to be in the future.

“Who’s your family? You look after your family, you look after your friends, and you’re looking after people, rather than yourself,” he says one day this past winter inside a conference room at the Kitchen’s Pearl Street headquarters. His publicist is on the other side of the table.

“The hero is the person who goes in and saves the day. That is the young version of me. The warrior is like, ‘OK, we’re ready to fight. Put the weapons on, and let’s go.’ It’s about the war and winning the war and not about yourself,” he says. Musk sees himself as the warrior.

“Honestly,” he says, “I love crisis.”

His publicist winces.

“You don’t love crisis,” she says.

“Maybe ‘love’ is the wrong word,” Musk says.

Around the time he was saying this, COVID-19 had reached the Seattle area.

Expo West, the conference at which he was to speak, had been canceled. The reality of the virus’ spread was starting to set in. It was apparent restaurants would suffer, but the magnitude was not yet clear.

Musk always outwardly projected a reassuring confidence, but this felt different.

“It’s huge,” he said of the virus. “I’m worried about it.”

Musk sent an email to his restaurant staff reminding them to execute good

hygiene. That very prudent suggestion now seems almost laughably naive, but that’s where everyone was at the time.

A week later, Musk had found his cri­ sis wheelhouse. He played Willie Nelson’s cover of the Pearl Jam song “Just Breathe” on a loop.

Yes, I understand that every life must end As we sit alone, I know someday we must go Oh, I’m a lucky man, to count on both hands The ones I love “Maybe I am freaking out,” he told me on March 20, during the stock market’s worst week since 2008. He’d already made dramatic moves with the company, promot­ ing takeout dining days before Governor Jared Polis closed Colorado restaurants.

Musk furloughed hourly employees and cut his top executives’ paychecks by half. He worried about the financial health of his staff and of other restaurant owners.

He posted on Twitter: “Our govt needs to step in right now to help restaurant owners, staff, and hourly workers. Right. Now.” He’d been pushing Plant A Seed Day and was encouraging families stuck at home to plant seeds together. Square Roots was giving away hundreds of pounds of produce from its Brooklyn shipping container to Rethink Food NYC, an organization that transforms unused food from grocery stores and restau­ rants into nutritionally dense meals for the needy. Musk worked on plans with other Boulder restaurants to promote takeout menus and help those businesses survive.

On March 17, he closed five restau­ rants, including one in Highlands Ranch.

In an April 7 HuffPost article, several former employees accused Musk of withholding $400 payouts from a “Family Fund” reserved for workers in crisis. Musk’s publicist says the fund was “relatively small,” adding that it wasn’t designed to cover a pandemic. “These are unprecedented times,” the publicist says.

“We’re doing the best we can.”

One night, as the crisis deepened and American cities began shutting down, Musk took a walk in the cold. He did yoga at his house in Boulder. He made dinner for his family. “Kimbal just starts chopping an onion,” his wife says. “He sautés the onion, and he goes to the next ingredient and the next ingredient. It brings him back down.”

As Congress battled over unem­ ployment benefits and corporate bailouts and emergency economic aid a few days later, Musk worked on strategic plans for the weeks and months ahead. Eventu­ ally, he knew he’d be back in his kitchen

at home, chopping things, a fire on his range. The culinary juggling act would turn his focus away from the rest of the world, if only for a few moments. He’d be thankful for the distraction. Musk didn’t know what he would cook, but he was sure it would be nourishing and delicious.

A MONT H EARLIER , on February 15, everything had been different. A line formed outside the Kitchen on Wazee Street in LoDo, 200 or so guests in cow­ boy hats and denim shirts. Elon Musk showed up, as did venture capitalists and musicians and actors.

Cell phones were collected at the front door, slipped into envelopes for return later. Kimbal Musk wanted every­ one present for this moment.

This would be a celebration of life, he told his wife in October when he started planning this party, the 10th anniversary of his broken neck. Back then, he’d spent two months horizontal at home, the world moving on without him. On this night, everyone was there to celebrate him.

Musk had spent hundreds of hours preparing this evening. He put together invitations and chose the Western-chic dress code, the menu (Bolognese, sea bass with braised white beans and kale, roasted chicken with couscous and dried fruit, and vegetable curry), and the 27-song set of Johnny Cash covers he’d sing with his fivepiece band and a cast of friends. The party would last well past midnight.

A small riser was set up in the dining room, a wall of black curtains behind it.

He’d start with “Hurt,” Cash’s cover of the Nine Inch Nails song. On “Ring of Fire,” his publicist would play a trumpet solo atop the restaurant’s bar.

Drinks flowed. Wearing his hat, Musk finally stepped onstage with his Huss & Dalton guitar. There were whoops and applause. Musk thanked his friends for being there to share the moment with him, to share in the past decade. He glowed under the spotlight. He studied the room.

His friends cried and laughed and hollered that night. The world was about to change forever, but no one knew it then.

Be grateful, he told his friends as they danced and sang, because you never know when everything might come to an end. m

BACKSTORY Public Shut-Eye

Napping outdoors has always been a joy: the sun on your face, the breeze ruffling your hair, birds chirping a lullaby. Now, after being cooped up for close to two months trying to slow the spread of COVID-19, dozing in the fresh air sounds even more alluring. Although you can only daydream about them until the need to stay at home passes, these serene spots are ready to host your post-quarantine snoozes. —ANGELA UFHEIL

CHEESMAN PARK This centrally located public park has room for plenty of people on its 80 acres. That leaves you with lots of personal space to sprawl out on grass that’s as fluffy as a featherbed and—thanks to the lack of water features—goose-poop free.

GEORGE WALLACE PARK Following the paved trail along Goldsmith Gulch leads Hampden South and Greenwood Village residents to the ideal outdoor bedroom: The small stream’s banks provide multiple bucolic spots to spread a blanket and listen to the gentle trickle of water.

CHERRY CREEK TRAIL You can set up a lawn chair at multiple stops along the 40-mile trail, but we like the green area near the intersection of Speer Boulevard and Lawrence Street in the Central Business District best—an urban oasis thanks to the burbling creek that drowns out the din of city traffic.

Photo illustration by Sean Parsons; Source photos: Anya Berkut/Getty Images (woman); Alpha Stock/Alamy Stock (Cheesman Park)

EMPOWER FIELD AT MILE HIGH The Denver Broncos’ home turf may not seem like the best place to catch a few zzz’s—until you visit “Pass Through the Land,” a public art project on the east side of the stadium.

Flat-top boulders make handy mattresses, while disks on a nearby structure create a windchime-like melody.

HARPER HUMANITIES GARDEN Step one: Calm your mind by watching lilies and lotuses drift atop the water gardens at this grassy expanse in the University of Denver’s Chester M. Alter Arboretum. Step two: Let the sound of rushes and cattails rustling in the breeze carry you off to dreamland.
