100 Hikes in Colorado

This is a "must have" guidebook if you enjoy hiking in Colorado. Each hike is described in some detail with a ranking of how strenuous each trek is considered. The text is concise and to the point, but gives an adequate feel of each hike. There is at least two pages devoted to each journey and the hike descriptions are to the point. Many such descriptions were the sole reason I decided to hike some of these mountains and I was never disappointed. The quality of the book is also to be commended. The paperback binding holds up after major 1,000+ mile car journeys I've made with the book thrown in the back seat. If you buy one guidebook about hiking in Colorado, make it this one. I highly recommend it for the description of each trail and just the overall feel of the book.

I may have been born in Colorado but that doesn't mean I know all the great places there are to hike in this state. Both my husband and myself have used this book extensively for ideas on where to go next. The directions to the trailheads are accurate and fair warning is given as to the condition of the roads to get there. I especially appreciate the ranking system.
