Few homes in metro Denver can claim to have a million-dollar view. But a listing about to hit the market near Morrison’s Willowbrook neighborhood will test how much Colorado buyers are willing to pay up to be able to look down. In whatever direction Liz Wilson looks out from the home she and her husband Rick built on Lyons Ridge, just north of West Belleview Avenue, she is met with amazing views and recollections that span decades. Directly to the south, Wilson can see the home where she was born and raised and beyond that, the rolling hills leading into the Ken Caryl area.

Colorado could come across as dinosaur-obsessed — and with good reason. The Rocky Mountain West has unparalleled access to artifacts from the dinosaur age because the uplift that formed the mountains unearthed layers of rock that were buried for millennia prior, said Bruce Schumacher, senior paleontologist with the U.

It still hasn’t completely sunk in for Zeev Buium. A year ago, Buium was the top recruit in the University of Denver’s incoming freshman class, but he arrived with a fraction of the hype of players like Macklin Celebrini at Boston University and the trio of Will Smith, Ryan Leonard and Gabe Perreault at Boston College. Now, as Buium prepares for the NHL draft combine next week in Buffalo, N.

It’s usually after two rounds of playoff basketball that our collective NBA consciousness can start to take stock of the season’s big-picture lessons. Four teams remain, a small enough number for each of their respective roads to the conference finals to feel significant, but also still a more hearty sample size than the NBA Finals.
