Whales are back—and they brought friends

The Northern Residents are making the rounds again (sighting #53!), which means binoculars and patience are your best Sunday accessories right now. The weather's cooperating too—73 degrees, calm winds, and a golden hour that doesn't kick in until 7:52 PM, giving you a full day to explore. If the whales are playing shy, the County Fair's Ag tent and Glenwood Springs' Chinook celebration are solid backup plans.
