Editorial Reviews

Review

"Author Tony Huegel has produced some of the best guides that we've ever seen for those who really want to get away with the whole family. (Byways guides) all offer concise directions, clear maps and excellent advice on how to get the most out of your off-road adventure." -- Maryland Public Television's MotorWeek --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Product Description

For the price of a single tank of gas for the typical 4wd sport-utility vehicle, the 80 unpaved adventure roads detailed in this backcountry travel guide will steer you through Colorado's most spectacular wildlands and historic settings. From the river gorges of Dinosaur National Monument to the soaring peaks and passes of the San Juan Mountains (including the famous Alpine Loop), the routes it details will help you discover ghost towns, Native American rock art sites, sweeping glaciated valleys, an active dinosaur fossil quarry and herds of wild horses. It even includes exhilarating drives up the famous ski slopes at Aspen, Vail and Breckenridge. Whether you're looking for an easy cruise through autumn aspens or the thrill of a genuine 4x4 route like famous Black Bear Pass, its detailed descriptions, maps for every route, extensive how-to chapter and comprehensive listing of information sources - not to mention its handy spiral binding - make this glovebox-size guide the ideal companion for exploring the wilds of Colorado with the comfort and convenience of an SUV. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best 4x4 guidebook I've seen yet. It's about time., June 28, 1999
By A Customer
My wife and I just recently bought this book (just bought a used Cherokee, too) and have only started using both. But we've found it to be the most relevant to our kind of four-wheeling, which is more sight-seeing than rock crawling, I admit. We'd seen the San Juans before, but never realized there were such incredible places elsewhere. We've especially enjoyed the wild horse preserve drives and the drives into Dinosaur National Monument. Really great stuff. Book seems very well researched, with lots of history, geology, etc. I recommend it highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Someone's finally produced a guide for people who drive SUVs, June 3, 1999
By A Customer
I'm no hard-core four-wheeler. I just like exploring backroads. I was glad to finally find a sophisticated guide that didn't involve winching, rock-crawling, etc. Good directions and maps.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best value by far in Colorado 4WD guides, November 8, 2000
By A Customer
Motor Trend says: "Author/adventurer Tony Huegel's books are very good indeed. The newest in his series of off-road travel practicums is Colorado Byways. All Byways books offer maps and route information on everything from the easiest country lane tour up to serious off-road treks. There are lots of tips and points of interest, plus names, phone numbers, and Web sites with which to gather even more data. The books are even ringbound, so they lie flat and stay open. Other titles cover the California desert, coast and Sierra Nevada, plus Utah and Idaho--a must for SUV owners."

3.0 out of 5 stars good reference
Good reference, but lacks detailed maps. Make sure you have the topo for the area.
Published 15 months ago by B. Bates

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for SUV travel not true 4x4
This book is geared to SUV travel and not 4X4 travel. If we found the route in this book, we figured it was too easy for our modified Tacoma 4x4.
Published on August 26, 2006 by Bruce Burnworth

5.0 out of 5 stars SUPERB - but 2nd edition (July 2003) is same as 1999 version
This is an absolutely FANTASTIC and very informative 4-wheel drive/ off roading book on Colorado's most gorgeous and scenic byways! Read more
