Found it to be a great jumping off point for someone new to the area. It also has lots of facts (distance, maps, difficulty) for quick reference.

This review is from: 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: Denver and Boulder: Including Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and Rocky Mountain National Park (Paperback)

This book wasn't overwhelmingly good. On a number of reviews, the author mentioned she only hiked the trail one time. Sometimes this was winter, sometimes spring or summer. Obviously, a hike changes drastically depending on the time of year it is undertaken. Also, we wasted a good hour trying to find a trail she had reviewed that simply didn't exist. Her directions weren't always good (e.g., turn onto this street and then continue five miles past the valley--when the valley may be 10 miles down the road itself). If there are other books of hikes in the Denver/Boulder area, I would recommend getting them over this book.

This book has it all - from moderate to aggressive hikes, hikes for kids, dogs, horses, whatever your pleasure. The author does a great job with the details, and the maps are very accurate.
