This week on Regional Roundup, we explore animals found around the Rocky Mountain West. We delve into the history of the Western Horse, the significance of the Churro sheep to the Navajo Nation, the comeback of Trumpeter swans from the brink of extinction in Wyoming, and how animals, including wolves, "talk" to each other.

On this episode, we visit the Taffy Shop in Estes Park, recently voted the No. 1 candy store in the country by USA Today. We learn how to make the perfect fruit pie. A chocolatier from Carbondale discusses the global cacao trade, and a forager encourages us to eat what’s beneath our feet.

Turnout was lower than previous primary elections in Colorado. The Secretary of State’s office reports nearly 25% of eligible voters returned their ballots.
