From the Back Cover
Nowhere else in the West - and perhaps in the world Û can mountain bikers find trails and roads so diverse and challenging and see such natural beauty - with such easy access - as they can along Colorado's Front Range. Highlighting 16 of the best mountain bike rides in the Summit and Grand County area, this light slender book slides easily into a pocket or backpack. For rides throughout the entire Colorado Front Range area, be sure to look for AltitudeÌs binder edition of Biking ColoradoÌs Front Range.
