Editor’s note: An untold number of unheralded artists live in Colorado, those creators who can’t (or don’t want to) get into galleries and rely on word of mouth, luck or social media to make a living. You’ve likely seen them on Instagram, at festivals or at small-town art fairs. This monthly series, Through the Lens, will introduce you to some of these artists.Tintype photographs conjure up images of the Old West or soldiers heading out to fight in the Civil War. They evoke a sense of history, nostalgia and a glimpse into the past.Salida-based Tintype photographer Tim Brown said the process, which was developed in the 1850s, was practically extinct 20 years ago. With the heavy cameras, use of complex chemicals, a complicated multistep procedure and the development of newer camera equipment, the art form was disappearing quickly.But it is experiencing a renaissance, Brown said.Subject Corey Hubbard is upside down in the view finder of tintype photographer Tim Brown’s large wet plate ...Great Colorado mountain bike trails for newbies

Yet not every far-flung fat tire destination requires the skills to tackle rock drops, steep downhills and exposed precipices. There are several dirt destinations around Colorado where newbies can get comfortable on singletrack trails and take their nubby tire skills to the next level.Here are a few of my favorites to check out this summer.EagleThirty miles west of Vail, where the mountains transition from pine and aspen trees to sagebrush, piñons, fields of tall grass, wildflowers and high desert landscapes, sits the town of Eagle, an oasis for mountain bikers of all skill levels. One clear sign of the town’s dedication to mountain biking is its network of singletrack sidewalks.Compared to many trails in the region, particularly those at Vail and Beaver Creek resorts, Eagle’s dirt routes are wide, smooth and don’t require lengthy climbs or descents. The area is home to a whopping 116 ...RTD chief: Maintenance projects can be disruptive but the backlog needs to be handled

Providing transit services to a metro region is a complex endeavor that requires more than simply deploying buses to stops or trains to stations. An impressive level of orchestration happens behind the scenes daily to serve RTD’s thousands of customers safely and efficiently.

RTD is working as responsibly as possible to prioritize a backlog of projects that are essential to ensuring the safe and reliable delivery of services. Many maintenance projects have been deferred for years and must happen now.
