Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:19:59 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- In a state full of natural wonders to explore, one of the four national parks of Colorado was named in the top 10 best to visit this summer, according to Trips To Discover.Black Canyon of the Gunnison has some of the steepest cliffs and oldest rocks in North America, and it spans 48 miles and reaches depths of over 2,700 feet. If you had one week in Colorado, where would you go? Erosion from 2 million years of water flowing in the ancient Gunnison River cut the steep rock cliffs that make up the canyon today. Those rock walls are perhaps some of the only walls that can talk, and the layers of metamorphic rock tell the story of about 1.8 billion years. How many ghost towns are there in Colorado? More than live towns Because of the steep walls, not much sunlight gets through. The shadows on the walls give it a deep and dark appearance, hence the name Black Canyon.It makes for a scenic drive along the rims and down to the river, with views of wildlife in a unique ...

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The biggest highlight of training camp for the Denver Broncos so far came when Justin Simmons deflected a Russell Wilson pass and his sidekick at safety made a diving interception and celebrated by punting the ball toward the cheering crowd.Only, this time it wasn't veteran Kareem Jackson but third-year pro Caden Sterns, who's been carving out a bigger role in Denver's defensive packages, especially in nickel and big nickel, which often features three safeties.Sterns might even unseat Jackson for the starting job.Jackson has started 61 of a possible 66 games in his four seasons in Denver, including all 17 a year ago when his 94 tackles were the most in his 13 NFL seasons. At age 35, however, Jackson found free agency quiet and he re-upped with Denver in mid-May for $2.7 million this season. Broncos’ deep receiving corps takes a big hit with the loss of Tim Patrick and KJ Hamler Jackson still may see extensive action on early downs this season, but Ster...
