Residents are invited to visit the Veterans Monument at Ken-Caryl Ranch on Memorial Day, May 30 at noon for a special ceremony to honor our local heroes. The Ken-Caryl Veterans Community Allies Group will be laying a wreath in honor of all those who have served this great country. There will also be bubbles and cookies for the kiddos. The monument is located at the southeast corner of Crestone Mountain and Sangre de Cristo Road in Community Park. 

On Sunday, May 22, the Colorado Department of Transportation began an $8.2 million project to resurface C-470 from south of the I-70 and C-470 interchange to Exit 10 at Ken Caryl Ave. Work is scheduled for completion in October 2016. Motorists can expect single-lane closures Sundays through Thursdays from 8 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., with speeds reduced to 55 miles per hour in the construction zone. Some highway exit and entrance ramps will also be impacted overnight. The resurfacing is designed to restore the current pavement, add an overlay of asphalt, repair several bridge joints and apply new pavement markings along the length of the project. Additionally, 15 deer ramps and over 7,800 linear feet of new fencing will be installed to keep wildlife from entering the highway.

Tree Climbing Colorado offers introductory recreational tree climbing experiences for ages 7 to adult using fun, easy-to-learn rope techniques, stressing both safety for climbers and protection of trees. Experienced facilitators provide all instruction and equipment.
