Product Description
Afoot & Afield Denver/Boulder & Colorado's Front Range takes hikers throughout the Colorado Rocky Mountains and their foothills, rivers, and plains. Featuring more than 200 trips, from trails near the state's Wyoming border to Pikes Peak near Colorado Springs, author Alan Apt maps out hikes both long and short, exploring trails accessible from Denver, Boulder, and other Front Range communities.

Highlights summarize the best features of each trip. Easy-to-read maps, plus complete trip descriptions and hiking directions make sure that hikers find their way.

  • More than 200 hikes ranging from short dayhikes to long weekend treks, each shown on a trail map.
  • At-a-glance essential information--distance, time, elevation change, and difficulty rating.
  • Additional trail-use data such as which trails are suitable for children, dogs, horseback riding, and mountain bikes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book , April 26, 2008
By Bear Jack Gebhardt (horserump, co) - See all my reviews
I loved this book. The Afoot and Afield series is a great series, and this is one of the best books in the series. The author is obviously somebody who has spent many, many hours "afoot in the field," and this book is like having a happy, knowledgeable, easy to be with hiking companion. Well worth the price. Well worth picking up and keeping for many, many hours of hiking pleasure. I hike a lot, and this book has added depth and feeling and expertise to my outings. I really liked it. Appreciate its details and overviews. I can highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Alan Apt's latest great outdoor book, April 26, 2008
By John P. Gascoyne (Fort Collins, CO) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fans of Alan Apt's "Snowshoe Routes - Colorado's Front Range" will be anxious to see his latest accounting of the best outdoors adventures that Colorado has to offer. The book contains all of the great hikes in Colorado and many enticing but lesser-known ones as well. The author is a stickler for detail and provides comprehensive information and coherent maps for every described trail. If you could only have one Colorado hiking book, it would be hard to find a better one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Colorado hiking book, February 16, 2009
By Ed Beckmann (Colorado) - See all my reviews
I have a bookcase full of books on hiking in Colorado. But when I'm looking to choose a hike, this is the first book I grab out of my stuffed bookcase. Why? It has a lot of variety to it: nearby hikes and hikes a bit of a drive away; challenging hikes and easy hikes; popular hikes and those off the beaten trail a bit. The descriptions are perfect. You know what to expect before you get there (so you can select hikes that fit your companions' abilities) and the directions are easy to understand and follow. This is the best hiking book I've ever owned. That's why I've bought it as a gift for others. I highly recommend it.
