"Paging mountain bikers, hikers, snowshoers, Nordic skiers, trail runners, backpackers, four-wheelers and other backcountry fans: This book is for you. It covers trails from Denver to the Eagles Nest and Mount Zirkel Wilderness areas, with sports-specific symbols for each trail. The author divides large bits of real estate, like Rocky Mountain National Park, into manageable chunks, and ends chapters with 'Charlie's Picks,' recommended trails for specific sports. Old-school-style, Nuttelman also offers an excellent route-finding lesson, with detailed instruction on map and compass use." - Denver Post

This photo-rich guidebook has over 500 trail descriptions for al fresco explorers looking to enjoy the Colorado wilderness in any or all seasons by foot, bike, ski or snowshoe. The 88 maps along with detailed information about gear and first-hand tips make this book educational and entertaining." - The Examiner |
