Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Sunday, October 12th, 2025.

It was a big night of excitement for local sports fans yesterday as the Colorado Buffaloes delivered a thrilling 24 to 17 upset over No. 22 Iowa State at Folsom Field. Under the leadership of Coach Prime, Deion Sanders, the Buffs picked up their first Big 12 Conference win of the season. Quarterback Kaidon Salter commanded the field with 255 passing yards and two touchdowns, showcasing poise with no interceptions or sacks. Joseph Williams made a season-high 128 yards, and fans stormed the field as the final whistle sounded, celebrating a victory that has sparked new energy for the team heading into their bye week. You can expect buzz all over town today from Buffs fans reliving those big moments and looking ahead to the return to action later in the month.

Shifting from the gridiron to local happenings, firefighters rushed to respond to a late-night structure fire just before midnight yesterday in the 8000 block of Fox Ridge Court, outside the city in unincorporated Boulder County. Quick action by the Mountain View Fire Protection District and neighboring departments kept the fire contained to a single-family home and, fortunately, there were no injuries and no damage to nearby houses. The cause is under investigation this morning, but neighbors and responders are grateful for everyone’s safety.

If you’re looking to take in some of the best of Boulder’s autumn beauty today, Caribou Ranch Open Space near Nederland is wearing its finest fall colors. The signature DeLonde Trail and Blue Bird Loop offers a moderate 4.2-mile hike through golden aspen groves, historic mining relics, and wide-open meadows. It is a perfect way to enjoy the crisp mountain air and the changing leaves, so lace up your boots and maybe top it off with a cozy post-hike coffee in Nederland.

Fall festivities continue to ramp up around Boulder as Halloween approaches. Get those costumes ready for the annual trick-or-treating along the Pearl Street Mall coming up at the end of the month. The event is designed for families and little ghouls under 12 and always brings out a parade of superheroes, animals, and creative disguises. If you want to get a jump on the spooky fun, Denver’s famous Frightmare Compound and 13th Floor Haunted House are going strong through early November, and special pumpkin festivals, Halloween concerts, and themed bar crawls can be found throughout the front range for those who want to venture a bit further for an evening thrill or two.

And don’t forget, with leaf-peeping at its best and plenty of trails close by, this is a perfect weekend to explore the outdoors or pop into a local café for some pumpkin spice or apple cider. Whether you’re a sports fan, a nature lover, or just soaking up October’s energy, Boulder is buzzing with activity.
