“[Hiking Colorado] takes on a huge task, and succeeds…. This book is the ultimate on Colorado best hikes.”
–Russ Bromby, Rocky Mountain Outdoor Writers and Photographers

Russ Bromby's comments on the book:
"Extremely well researched and detailed, this book is a delight. From the heartfelt
acknowledgments and introduction to the descriptions of the hikes, the meticulous care and hours
of work are clearly evident. Abundant maps and photos and an ingenious trail finder make this
an invaluable hiking guide. Each hike description is loaded with details including history,
location, changes in elevation, hiking times and difficulty, trail surfaces and the best time of year
to hike specific trails. The maps are well executed and detailed, but if that's not enough, the
author has provided GPS data and lists of supplemental maps. Local land management
information is also thoughtfully provided. Particularly impressive is the step-by-step walk
through for each hike, complete with mileage."
