Colorado’s 9 most beautiful frozen winter waterfalls

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:17:24 GMT

Can you call it a waterfall if the water isn’t falling? We vote yes, and believe winter to be the coolest — see what we did there? — time to check out these frozen-over cascades. (Waterstill just doesn’t have the same ring to it.) In fact, waterfalls might be at their peak majesty when iced over and draped in newly fallen snow, creating a scene straight out of Arendelle or Narnia or some other idyllic, frosted land that isn’t in a children’s movie.Related ArticlesOutdoors | Over 600,000 passengers expected to go through DIA around Christmas Outdoors | Celebrated chef leaves Michelin-starred Denver restaurant Outdoors | Experts stress caution during holiday season as mystery dog illness continues to circulate in Colorado Outdoors | Opinion: Why a direct flight to Africa from Denver would be “two-way transformational” Outdoors | Nearly 100 cargo workers at DIA go on strike Monday, protesting u...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:17:24 GMT

In recent years, historic preservation has come under intense fire from state Sen. Scott Wiener and his YIMBY allies for allegedly interfering with housing production. However, the regional housing crisis can be solved without destroying historic neighborhoods.I am a San Francisco-based architectural historian and historic preservation consultant who has been active in the Bay Area for 26 years. I am a committed urbanist and a lover of open space. As a Bay Area native, I remember as a child watching the last stone fruit orchards of South San Jose being bulldozed to construct endless tracts of one-story ranch houses sequestered behind beige sound walls.Today I see the same thing happening in the outer reaches of the Bay Area and the Central Valley.

I believe that our cities should become more “urban,” not only to preserve our farmland but also to encourage a pedestrian-oriented way of life that is common in much of the world, including a ...
