This Colorado Trail Guide is a Masterpiece!
This book is a welcomed addition to my sizable outdoor library. It is well organized, beautifully illustrated, up-to-date, and contains superb maps. In all honesty this is the nicest trail or park guide that I have purchased during the past decade. As the foreword to the book indicates, the Colorado Trail Foundation went to great lengths to ensure that people with the most expertise addressed different aspects of the book. The result of all of this work is an authoritative book that anyone with an interest in the mountains of Colorado should own. I highly recommend this book!
