1. Spring Valley Ranch PUD revocation application approved (einpresswire.com) — Garfield County has unanimously approved revoking the long-planned Spring Valley Ranch PUD near Glenwood Springs and rezoning the 5,908-acre property back to rural. The developer, Spring Valley Holdings, LLC, says it wants a “clean slate,” clearing old subdivision entitlements so future, lower-density plans can better match surrounding residential and agricultural uses just outside town.
   

2. American Gunfighter Doc Holliday's Last Fight (blogspot.com) — Doc Holliday’s final months and death in Glenwood Springs are revisited through a rare colorized photograph and narrative of his decline from feared gunslinger to tuberculosis patient. The piece connects his quiet passing in a local hotel room to the fading era of the Old West, then briefly highlights other notable historic images from around the world.
   

3. Glenwood Springs Historical Society archive: Lunch with the president (postindependent.com) — President Theodore Roosevelt’s 1905 hunting trip brought his train through Glenwood Springs and turned the Hotel Colorado into a temporary “Western White House,” a point of pride in local history. The Glenwood Springs Historical Society now preserves stories like this at the Frontier History Museum and offers public programs and memberships for residents who want to stay connected with the town’s past.
   

4. Colorado still has some summer river flows fit for rafting - even in severe drought. Here's why. (thenewstribune.com) — A Glenwood Springs–based water agency explains why Colorado River flows remain raftable even during this severe drought, thanks to powerful Western Slope water rights and the Shoshone Power Plant in Glenwood Canyon. While rivers like the Arkansas and Clear Creek are at record lows, outfitters are shifting trips to stretches near Kremmling and Glenwood Canyon where reservoir releases keep levels high enough for boating.
