Taj Moore A View from the Rear — The Colorado Colfax Marathon

I would run a marathon just for Colfax Avenue. No really, it's true: the Colorado Colfax Marathon was coming back for its third year and I figured "hey, what better way to see Colfax than on foot?"

Taj Moore The First Colfax Cruise — December 8, 2007

If there was ever a Colfax Ave snow-globe, we were in it all day....

We did it. We made the cruise happen ... almost the entire length of Colfax, stopping just shy of the new Children's Hospital in Aurora. The snow held us back a little. Okay, it held us back a lot; it was f-f-f-freezing and tires were slipping. I thought Denver had a plan for the snow! Nevertheless, it was the best day ever. We now have stories for our grandkids, and photos to prove it.

Taj Moore Colfax Love

Colfax Avenue is a passionate affair between misunderstanding lovers, sometimes attended with hate, sometimes marred by abuse, and always with a return to each other’s tender embrace.

Walter Gropius once wrote to Burnham Hoyt (after visiting the newly constructed Red Rocks Amphiteater) that traveling back to Denver was like falling from heaven, passing through purgatory, and descending into hell.

Colfax Avenue is an old world beauty long ago lost in the new world, who has held… Continue
