This week’s Regional Roundup features a story about a family preparing for a quinceañera, a traditional 15th birthday celebration. From northwest Colorado, we meet two seasonal camp hosts at Pearl Lake State Park. A story about a historic kayak journey by Indigenous youth along the Klamath River, retracing ancestral waterways, is followed by a collection of voices from people enjoying the Arkansas River. We round out the show with a conversation with Andrea Gibson, Colorado’s poet laureate, who died earlier this month.
