It requires a high level of fitness and an ability to persuade notoriously stubborn animals to run alongside you. A Colorado Sun reporter set out to run her first pack burro race and wrote about the experience.

Rick paints key moments in history – or recreates famous works of art -- and then paints a cell phone into the image. His paintings show a man taking a selfie immediately after the JFK assassination. Or the Mona Lisa’s smile captured on a tiny cell phone screen. Rick’s provocative work is the focus of a new exhibition in Denver.

Advocates for national parks worry that this will lead to censoring less flattering parts of U.S. history. We hear about how this order could impact Colorado’s national park sites, like the Amache internment camp or the Sand Creek Massacre historic site.
