Colorado may be known for its hundreds of high peaks, but how do you know which ones are the best? In this inspiring guide, author James Dziezynski has carefully selected Colorado�s 50 top summit hikes. His spirited description of these peaks, which range from 8,144 to 14,433 ft. in elevation reveals why they�re the best.

Bag the peaks in Best Summit Hikes in Colorado, and you�ll climb the highest mountain in the state, visit the ruins of a town flattened by an avalanche, hunt for fossilized seashells more than 2 mi. above sea level, and enjoy countless scrambles, ridge walks, and traverses through Colorado�s stunning alpine scenery.

The book covers all of Colorado�s major mountain ranges—the Sangre De Cristo, Gore, Sawatch, Indian Peaks, and Maroon Bell wilderness areas, as well as Grenadier, Medicine Bow, and Outer San Juan peaks. It includes some of the most famous peaks (Longs), some of the toughest (Storm King), and some of the most remote (Lone Cone).
