Denver Post Comment Section

I suppose, but most nights in Colorado have huge temp swings. For example, I see Denver was 81 today, but going to drop down to 54 by the morning...one thing about the high desert is that the nights tend to be rather cold. Even on extremely hot days, you tend to get some reprieve when the sun goes down.

I've lived in/visited other parts of the country where the temperature seems to barely move at night, and it's still hot as anything even at midnight...

Also, I'm not sure how much rock the typical low water landscaping uses? It might be up to individual discretion as to how much vegetation vs. rock is used...
