Best Summit Hikes in Colorado : The Only Guide You'll Ever Need-50 Classic Routes and 90+ Summits Hardback
by James Dziezynski
Hardback
Description
Colorado has 53 14ers, more than 600 13ers, and hundreds of other peaks that can be reached without special equipment or expertise.
Numerous guides dryly catalog these trails, but Best Summit Hikes in Colorado stands out from them all.
Author James Dziezynski has meticulously selected 80+ of the state's absolute best peaks in more than 50 superlative hikes, and his opinionated narrative brings each route to life.
Each summit is included because of a notable feature--whether it's the site of a ghost mine or airplane wreckage, has thundering waterfalls or colorful floral meadows, is the best summit for spotting wildlife or bringing out-of-town friends, or is very accessible.
Some peaks offer unique opportunities, such as a trailhead accessible only via a steam-powered railroad.
Several summits are described in no other publication.
Covering all Colorado's major mountain ranges, including the well-known Sangre De Cristo, Gore, Sawatch, Indian Peaks, and Maroon Bell wilderness areas to the lesser-known Grenadiers, Medicine Bow, and Outer San Juan peaks, this distinctive guide makes it easy to select exactly the right hike for the right day, the right mood, and the right companions.
