Restaurants are reopening, and patios everywhere are coming alive with patrons who are practicing their best social distancing/social dining etiquette. Families are starting to re-engage in a safe way, and more venues are welcoming the public. Hotels are encouraging guests to enjoy a stay in newly sanitized environs, and best practices can be observed everywhere you look. And then there are the masks. We’ve seen them all, from standard blue to whimsical you-name-it. And in the end it doesn’t matter which is your mask of choice, it’s all about putting it on and wearing it with pride.
In our July issue, we are thrilled to introduce you to some of the men and women who truly are making a difference. Whether on the front lines or in line standing up for what is right and decent, these individuals are going the extra mile – often at risk to themselves — to ensure our community endures in a thoughtful, safe and positive manner. Photographer Katy Tartakoff, well-regarded by many in Colorado, is compiling many of her phenomenal portraits for a book that pays tribute to these brave people – showcasing their beautiful portraits and chronicling their thoughts as they move forward to create change. The photos that appear in this issue will be part of her book titled, A Time of Awakening: Walking With Grace. Stay tuned for more information on this stunning tome.

Throughout the nation, real estate markets are evolving and adapting to the new realities of COVID-19. These new levels of adjustment are present in areas including technology, showing of properties, the manner in which sellers prepare for showings, lending standards, safety and health considerations, and in the overall understanding of the market’s psychology and energy.
Recognizing we live in a somewhat different world begs the question, “what does this mean if I’m buying or selling (or both)?” The largest driver of any housing decision is where and how people may want to live. It helps to reflect on some real estate history, combined with current events, to provide a clearer perception of the real (estate) world.
The home as a sanctuary is more meaningful now more than ever, and that sentiment holds true throughout this thoughtfully remodeled Hilltop home.

This is the beginning of a project I created to honor the lives of all those individuals who matter … who make a difference. The people working through these challenging times, who make our lives better, regardless of the risks they face. Included in A Time of Awakening: Walking With Grace will be the faces of Black Lives Matter, immigrants, people of color and Native Americans. They’ll be the folks who clean buildings, stock grocery store shelves, the waste management folks, the people making food and delivering door to door, the migrant workers who make it possible for us to eat healthy fresh food … the medical professionals and first responders … the moms and dads who help their children finish school online … the list goes on.
Most Scenic Golf Courses
because the views are seriously distracting
ime seemed to stand still when I ever-so-gently floored the gas pedal of the most expensive SUV in the world, a behemoth of British grandeur, and flew up I-70’s Georgetown Hill like a rocket. All the time perched high above the world in a cabin so leathery, so whisper-quiet and so smoothly insulated from the world that it felt like a dream, despite having the mass of an armored personnel carrier.
Such is the joy to be found in the rather otherworldly confines of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, a nearly $400,000 ultra-SUV which cruises with totally gentle largesse. It’s an absolutely massive, winter-ready machine that is all hand-built elegance, crystalline perfection and pure automotive statement, wrapped up in one boxy, V-12 engine-powered package.
growing body of scientific evidence indicates that spending time in the outdoors promotes mind-body health. Even a short nature infusion can have a big impact on one’s physical and emotional wellbeing.
That’s the idea behind the concept of Shinrin-yoku, coined by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in the 1990s during a countrywide campaign designed to encourage urbanites to reconnect with their natural surroundings.
The English translation – forest bathing – is a misnomer since, no, we aren’t literally going to suds up in the wilderness. (Though, all of these trails do have water features!) Think of forest bathing as a meditative hike. Practitioners use skills of observation and relaxation techniques to take in the forest atmosphere — all the while bolstering their immune systems and reducing stress hormones.
But as their date approached, COVID-19 revealed itself as a serious threat to public health. “I think it was that week of St. Patty’s Day when everything got a lot more serious,” Herrick says. “It was becoming very apparent that [our wedding] probably wasn’t going to happen.”
Baja California Sur
the Artist’s Life
During
the Pandemic
n March 13th, Ty Brookhart left his home in Gold Hill, Colorado, to travel to Todos Santos, Baja California Sur, for the wedding of his two good friends. Todos Santos has a reputation for catering to surfers, mountain bikers, and artists of all kinds. It was supposed to be a long weekend away from the fresh snow that had fallen in the Rocky Mountains, to relax in the sand and celebrate friends. But with another round of snow headed to the mountains of Colorado, and COVID-19 forcing more and more travel restrictions, it was easier for Ty to fly his three-year-old son, Wilder, and his son’s mother, Rachel, to Baja, rather than getting back to Colorado himself. The respite lasted nearly three months.
Many of these high-profile guests have enjoyed the world-class links, and back in the day it was not uncommon to spot notable personalities, from Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, and Jackie Gleason to President Dwight Eisenhower. According to Russ Miller, director of golf at The Broadmoor, many well-known individuals loved coming to the resort during the summer for a week of golf, food and relaxation. Today the tradition continues, and don’t be surprised to catch a glimpse of a familiar face — such as Bill Gates, Condoleeza Rice, or Peyton Manning — teeing it up on one of the hugely popular courses.
