Springs Fire Triggers Riverside Evacuations

A wind-driven brush fire burned more than 4,100 acres near Moreno Valley on Friday, threatening homes and forcing evacuations in parts of Riverside County.

The Springs Fire broke out around 11 a.m. on Gilman Springs Road as Santa Ana winds drove rapid fire growth. More than 1,000 homes fell under evacuation orders as flames crept down hillsides toward the Moreno Valley Ranch neighborhood.

Moreno Valley College evacuated all students and staff, and California State Parks closed the Lake Perris State Recreation Area as the fire pushed toward campgrounds near the lake.

Hundreds of personnel fought the blaze with engines, helicopters, and air tankers. A second fire, the Crown Fire, broke out later Friday in Acton under the same conditions.

By Saturday evening, both fires reached 95% containment, and all evacuation orders were lifted. The causes remain under investigation.

Trump Seeks $152M for Alcatraz

President Trump's 2027 budget proposal includes $152 million to begin rebuilding Alcatraz as a federal prison for what he has called the nation's "most ruthless and violent offenders."

The funding is part of a $1.7 billion prison spending request that includes money for the first year of rebuilding Alcatraz. Trump has portrayed the project as a symbol of a tougher approach to crime.

Some California officials opposed the plan. A Newsom spokesperson called it "stupid and a waste of taxpayer money."

The former prison closed in 1963 because its island location made it far more expensive to operate than mainland facilities. It is a National Park Service site, drawing about 1.2 million visitors a year.

Argo Nears Opening, Bears Emerging, and Wild Turkeys

Monday, April 6, 2026

Good Morning! On this day in 1860, Auraria and Denver merged into one town, forming what would ultimately become modern-day Denver.

Colorado’s “mud season” is arriving early this year, and mountain towns are feeling it after a sluggish winter. As we report below, businesses are already bracing for a longer-than-usual spring slowdown.

Today's edition of The Colorado Flyover is abbreviated as our staff took time to celebrate Easter with their families. We'll be back with the full lineup tomorrow.

Take The Flyover with you. Busy day? Listen to our daily 15-minute podcast while commuting, cooking, or walking the dog—your Flyover fix, anywhere.

Mud Season Starts after Slow Winter

In the wake of a warm, dry winter that left Colorado’s recreation industry in a lurch, mountain-town businesses are heading into “mud season,” the springtime gap between winter and summer tourism.

Mud season typically begins when the snowpack starts to melt, usually in late April. This year, March heat triggered early snowmelt, sending the already-low snowpack into a nosedive.

Many of Colorado’s ski resorts have announced early or accelerated closures for the 2025-26 season, during which local businesses, dependent on tourism, reported significantly slower traffic. Some Breckenridge retailers saw a nearly 50% drop in sales.

While spring snowstorms are possible, many locals’ hopes rest on a strong, or early, summer season, with trail, rafting, and fishing conditions beginning to pick up.

Mighty Argo Eyes Completion

The Mighty Argo Cable Car, a $71 million, 1.3-mile mountainside gondola route in Idaho Springs, is nearing completion after a lengthy development process.

The gondolas will ferry visitors from a retired gold mine to the top of the mountain, a 1,300-foot vertical rise. At the mountaintop, there will be bars, restaurants, a playground, an amphitheater, and entry to city-run trails.

In total, the cable has 22 gold-colored gondola cars, including some with glass floors and five cars for carrying mountain bikes—the first bicycle-devoted gondola cars in the nation.

The project is undergoing final testing, with state testing scheduled for this week. If the gondolas pass inspection, backers plan to set an opening date later this month.
