Great Book

Very good book making Colorado geology accessible to anyone who can walk to the sites outlined here. Hikes are even more enjoyable because of the extra dimension of knowing something about the area.
A pleasant surprise

When I ordered this book, I was concerned that it might beintended only for backpackers (something I'm not up to). To myrelief, the vast majority of the hikes (and there are fifty of them) are no more than three miles round trip. Each one has complete instructions on how to reach the starting point and detailed descriptions of what you'll see. Our only problem is deciding which hikes to take in the time we'll have on our next vacation to Colorado.
