11:30 pm
it's time for "raw travel". we all know that life can be hard, and no one is immune to difficulty. then why on earth would anyone choose something as btally challenging as climbing a big, flat rock sticking straight up into the sky? there are many such people in the great state of colorado, like my pal isaac of front range climbers. he was determined to show me why people around here climb rocks like i change socks. just getting to the rock was super intense. i'm just thinking one thing at a time--
11:31 pm
after ziplining a raging river my confidence soared... that's all right. ...until i came face to face with the rock. that thing was flat, perpendiculala and high. . well, it's gonna be me just trying to get to the top. i don't know if it's gonna happepe i'm gonna be 100% honest with you-- someone just climbed it, an experienced rock climber, and all i can remember is she said, "this is the scariest thing i've ever done in my life." those are not the words i wanted to hear. they really are not. i'm a little terrified at what i'm about to do. should i be? - not really. um, i think it's a lot like any adventure sport. the adrenaline rush is kind of why you're here, so we get people coming back all the time for more. (robert) - all right, well, i'm gonna try to put the fear where it belongs, off to the side, and i'm gonna follow your lead 0and see what happens, man. so, uh, take good care of me. - - l right.
11:32 pm
but you're telling me it is. - yep. - you don't have a little kiddie rock or something like that for me to practice? (isaac) - there's no point in starting off on that. you're a grown man. - i don't know, man. i n't feel like a grown man right now. the level of difficulty, what is this one? how do you gauge it? - so this is a 5.8. class 5 is technical rock climbing. it's definitely not for kids but it's definitely not super hard. - all right. - you got this. (robert) - isaac is a pro and did his best to calm me. whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo! ha ha ha! is this the knot that's gonna save my life? - yes. - okay. (isaac) - you would ask me if you're on belet. i would say belet is on. - on belet. - belet on. - okay. - then when you're ready to climb, you say "climbing," and i acknowledge by saying "climb on." - i don't want to do this, ma here we go. i feel like i'm being pulled. my body was screaming, "abort mission! do not attempt."
11:33 pm
okay, it was do but hopefully not die time. (grunting) there were a couple of scares. (grunting) (gasping) but i wafocused... and getting into it. (grunting) - hey, rob, you're about 30 feet up. good work. (robert) finally, i couldn't find any more holds and my adrenaline escaped, leaving me exhausted and ready to descend. i want to go down. - (isaac) no! - i don't know how to get there, man. can't do it. i think i'm going. - (isaac) yeah? you sure? - i think so, man. (panting) once i got stuck, that's when conditioning got into it and maybe the altitude for me, i don't know. but, uh, once i got stuck i was completely-- i was in your hands. i was in youhands the whole time, but then i knew how much 'cause i was just flailing.
11:34 pm
my needs were more basic: i was hungry. i've read how millions of buffalo once roamed north america before being almost completely killed off by some of the greediest fools in mankind's history. today buffalo are bouncing back, thanks in part to buffalo farms. their meat is a good, lean source of protein so i headed to the fort restaurant on the outskirts of denver to try some of their famous buffalo dishes. - these are our buffalo sirloins, this is one of our more popular cuts. ou we e n follow from farm to table, as they say. we know when they were born, where they were born, all the shots they take. - yeah. - so if people are looking for a lean piece of meat buffalo is the way to go. - rocky mountain oysters are common in these parts. but wait... there's no ocean here. you're also gonna prepare for us rocky mountain oysters. is it very popopar here? - very popular. - and for those who don't know what they are...
11:35 pm
that'sll it is. ititomes in its own little sack. we peel it, cut it, d it comes in little cubes. they just named 'em rocky mountain oysters. - that sounds a lot easier. i know i can say that on tv. - exactly. yeah. (robert) - where are you going? when we get back, it's rocky mountain oyster tasting time.
11:36 pm
new fresh step with the power of febreze.
11:37 pm
(robert) - colorado is famous for rocky mountain oysters, aka buffalo bull private parts. i wasn't gonna try these alone, so i enlisted the help of east coast transplant and travel blogger jennifer zivic. jennifer, as a colorado girl, are you a buffalo fan? - i am, actually. - i don't mean a football n. not the college-- - yeah, i'm m t really a buffalo fan. - oh, you're not? oh. - no, everybody here is a broncos fan, come on. - oh, yeah, yeah, sorry. - come on, robert. - these? what are these?
11:38 pm
so a lot of coloradoans like to not tell you what they actually are. they like to tell you after you eat them. - and we're at t e fort, which is actually sort of known for its rocky mountain oysters and its buffalo as well. so we're really getting the signature dishes of the fort, which is sh a beautiful location. and i heard that the menu is basically from the 1830s, like if you were a fur trapper, you know, coming through coloradooin the 1830s this might be on the menu, but it's probably been modernized a little bit. - we're like modern-day pioneers right now. - a little bit, a little bit, in a very pampered environment. i say enough talking. let's eat. ooh, that's so tender, look at that. this is my first buffalo in colorado ever. - wow. - holy cow. holy buffalo. - right, holy buffalo. - mmm! - native americans understood conserving precious resources. they wasted no part of the buffalo
11:39 pm
now it's time for the rocky mountain oysters. i've never had these, ever, anywhere. all right, so i think it's one of those you got to do with your hands. - this is a finger licking meal, okay. - yeah, and thankfully they've been chopped up. anything chopped up is much more appetizing. here we-- i'm pretending this icalamari. are you ready? here we go. rocky mountain oysters, here we go. mmm! mm-hmm, mm-hmm. - hmm. - let me think about it. not disgusting. um, kind of good. - yeah. i think they're kinda good. kind of an interesting texture. - yeah, it really is. a bit softer than i thought. - right? - exactly. - i was expectinin a little more... all right,t,'m gonna try one more... - i thought the same thing. - ...just 'cause i was a ttle confused. i can't say that i really am gonna crave these and i must have these, but i can say that i'm glad i ate 'em and, um, i'll probably eat 'em again, you know? there you go. it's not moonshine, folks. just water. jennifer wanted to show me around her new adopted home,
11:40 pm
a beauty of a concert venue and more. this is prably one of the most surreal places i've ever been to, and they have music here, concerts, right? some very famous people come through here and play, right? - it's a really famous place to come see a show, and it's been around kind of a long time, actually. - yeah? - and a lot of the bands and people that play here say it's probably one of their most favorite places to play or their favorite place to play. - - d obviously the acoustics would have some-- we can hear a little sound check in the background 'cause we're gonna have a concert tonight. so the acoustics are just natural, right? so like a canyon. i bet the artists love that, the musicians do. - complete natural amphitheater. - but it's a lot more like even when there's not a concert going on people come here, they do yoga, they can-- you can run the steps, if you're so inclined. i'm not. uh, but if you're so inclined you can do that. and, i mean-- or just come in and check it out, man. this has got to be one of the mo amazing views... - (jennifer) yeah. - ...i've ever seen. - there's always people here.
11:41 pm
humble, in a good way, you know? - yeah. - small in a good way. red rocks is next door to a charming little mountain town aptly named evergreen, where jennifer and i hit up the muddy buck cafe for some caffeine and conversation. - evergreen is a real cool mountain town. i feel like it's quintessential colorado mountain town, you know? it's kind ofofhat all these towns are about. - jennifer, what brought you to colorado? - i was looking for someplace that had a really nice city that had a lot to offer, but also had outor, adventurous things nearby. - when you have nature like this, this is amazing. you're gonna have 365 days a year of something to do, right? even when it snows, that's just more advenre. - exactly. - that's just a different kind of adventure, right? - they say in colorado it's super interesting because you can sort of snowboard in the morning and golf in the afternoon, you know? you can do those two sports all in one day here
11:42 pm
that you have in a 24-hour-- in 24 hours. - yeah, and it's so easy to get from one climate to the next. now had you traveled here before you moved here? - i had. i had been to the mountains snowboarding, i had en to denver for business and that sort of thing. so i just knew the people were awesese and the city was awesome and the weather is also awesome. (robert) - it's time to earn my keep down on the farm. and later, hillbillies are peop, too.
11:43 pm
11:44 pm
11:45 pm
(robert) - just outside of denver, colorado, horses have a friend and so do kids with special needs. bill stiffler is a local horse rancher with a very big heart. bill, where do you guys get these horses? - - lot of 'em come from what are called killer sales. they're livestock auctions where horses are sold by the pound. - okay. - most of them end u on a truck going to mexico to where they're slaughtered and then packaged up like regular meat and shipped abroad for human consumption. - and then if you can save them if they have, you know, some more years left you bring them heree and then you have the kids, the summer camps, right? - well, we have three therapeutic riding groups that utilize the facility. - okay. - and a lot of these horses get used for therapeutic riding. that's what these guys are doing right now. - yeah.
11:46 pm
- what horse are you on? - um, this is apollo. - apollo. yes. - bill, these guys are getting ready to ride. what's the story with these horses? (bill) - well, um, noah, the black one, he was a killer sale rescue. and then sprinkles was brought to us from another therapeutic riding center. they couldn't use him in their program anymore. but they have a natural gentleness about them. we've tested 'em with our riders and stuff to make sure that they're safe for the kids and they seem to really join up with the children. - i gotta tell you, they seem like a great team. it seems like the horses enjoy the kids almost as much as the kids enjoy the horses. - they sure do, , ah. it's, uh, it's all about creating memories, you know. childhood memories that these kids will have for the rest of their lives. - well, i'd say it's safe to say not only are you saving hundreds of horses you're touching thousands of lives. and the kids here, there's a lot of young kids leading the horses, the special needs kids as well. where do the volunteers come fro - all over the place, the whole community. i mean, all the ds that areorking
11:47 pm
they come om local high schools, junior high schools. they love being around the horses as well. - yeah. - and it's just a really good thing for them to do to get involved with t tse children that need a little bit more attention and, you know, it teaches a lot of humility, i think. - i think it does. i mean, i think about myself when i was their age. these kids are young. - yeah. - there was no way i was volunteering for anything. i was just worried about myself, and i'm really impressed with the selflessness of these kids. i'm no kid anymore. of that it's obvious. but i believe it's never too late to do good, even if that means shoveling some (bleep). sometimes you gotta shovel a little... manure. (exhaling) mission accomplished. i wasn't the only one willing to help out, not by a long shot. friends of horses relies on volunteers like teri, a true colorado cowgirl. how often do you volunteer here? - i volunteer three days a week.
11:48 pm
and bill told me that you bring other volunteers sometitis. you recruit. - oh, yeah. i do. - well, then, you obviously love this place, right? - yes, i do. - why? - i love the horses, i like being around the horses and there's friendly people and... yeah. - good energy... - it's a good place to work. - ...and it's helping people, right? - yes, and the horses. (robert) - the ranch hosts animal lovers and volunteers from al" over the world. if you're an animal lover this is the spot. - yep. - do animal lovers-- like, do travelers come in? - all the time. - yeah? - we get world travelers and travelers that are coming in that find out about us from just being in the community and just come down and volunteer for one day while they're traveling through. - i can't think of a better cause than this one, man. the next time i get all stressed out in new york city m like, it's time to go shovel manure over at friends of horses. - sounds good. we'll put you up on a horse, see if it's broke. - all right, let's--
11:49 pm
(robert) - up next, boulder may be the most well-heeled hillbilly town around. - yeehaw! - and th, melodious mountain music. - seemed that nothing could be said by song, there's a
11:50 pm
11:51 pm
(robert) - boulder, colorado, is my kind of town. it's like all the customers from whole foods banded together and moved hehere.
11:52 pm
smack in the middle of town. this place attracts an interesting mix of transplants and welcoming locals like ferguson, a local banjo player. - well, the shaker, he said to john henry "i think this mountain's caving in" john henry said, "don't you worry your fair head ain't nothing but my hammer sucking wind" ain't nothing but my hammer sucking wind (robert) - ferguson, i have to tell you, you put the banjo good use. i really enjoyed it. i like banjo music. people think that's, uh, hillbilly music but i like hillbilly music, man. you call it motain music. - hillbillies are people, too. - yeah, they are. (chuckling) to see boulder like a true hillbilly, you gotta hit up banjo billy's bus tours. his hillbilly shack on wheels is the p`rfect vehicle to get an inside scoop on boulder. so what's the story of banjo billy's bus tours? - well, we take people around boulder and denver.
11:53 pm
and the interesting, amusing things thato on in the city. - what makes this place so special? - it's a bunch of stuff. it's the livability of the town, you know. it's a small town with a lot of smart people e it and a lot of stuff going on. (robert) - it's not the bus that gets all the buzz in boulder, it's banjo billy himself-- an entertaining encyclopedia of hidden history and ghost stories. - hi, welcome to the banjo billy bus. people have been seeing this bus for a w wle, they like to wave to us and yell, "hey, banjbilly!" if they do any of that they're looking for a response from you guys on the bus, and the proper response here on the banjo billy bus is to go... "yeehaw!" - from the rockies to the smokies to all over, mountain music is busting out. i hooked up with local musician bridget law of the band elephant revival to find out more about the resurgence of this traditional musical genre.
11:54 pm
there's been too much leaving there's been too much shame - bridget, it's an honor to have you here. elephant revival, obviously you're based here in colorado but you travel all over. - we do the entire united states at this point. - nice. - yeah. we have been to the uk. we've done some shows in canada. there's a good folks `estival circuit up there that we've done. but for the most part evevy year it's our goal to really nurture the markets in the united states. - you've also played the red rocks. - yeah, red rocks. we've done it once, and as soon as i got off that stage i was like, "i can't wait to do this again." - lift up and over the river that old rogue river (cheers and applau) thank you all so much. - now you're a fiddle player. - i am! - not a violin? - no. i mean... - what's the difference? what's the difference? - i love the word violin, but i'm a fiddle player. i grew up learning from people in texas, you know, and i have this amazing core group of friends

11:56 pm
all music needs to be heard. - you have to look hard to find anything ugly in colorado. from the great outdoors to the music and food, but especially the people who are just plain nice. i can't think of any better way to say it-- i'm simply crazy for colorado. hey, guys, if you're headed on a remote hike foot odor? get odor-eaters. each with 3 advanced odor and wetness fighters for all day control. odor-eaters. no shoes. no problem. one day it appears. is that a dark spot? new gold bond dark spot minimizing cream for body. targeted treatment: results begin in 4eeks. gold bond. new selsun blue full & thick shampoo. dandruff fighters with proteins a a vitamins
