By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Colorado Caves: Hidden Worlds Beneath the Peaks (Paperback)
In Colorado Caves: Hidden Worlds Beneath The Peaks, Richard Rhinehart examines the exploration, history, science, and conservation of Colorado's fabulous caves. The informative and engaging text is profusely illustrated with the outstanding color photography of David Harris, and includes some b/w historical photographs as well. Well suited for the tourist or spelunker, there are listings of Colorado caves that can be visited by the general public. Whether an armchair traveler or a dedicated cave exploration enthusiast, Colorado Caves is very highly recommended reading!

COLORADO CAVES: HIDDEN WORLDS BENEATH THE PEAKS,
By A Customer
This review is from: Colorado Caves: Hidden Worlds Beneath the Peaks (Paperback)
A most enjoyable and informative read, for the "professional" caver, the new spelunker, or the armchair sort (me!) who's just curious about caving!Beautiful pictures! I read the entire book in a day and it was time well spent!

Beautifully illustrated,
By nickunt (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Colorado Caves: Hidden Worlds Beneath the Peaks (Paperback)
The photos in this book are gorgeous. There's some sublime shots of stalagmite/stalagtite formations in the Devil's Womb, and a stunning two page montage of an iron ore skein in Deep Green Cave. There's also photos of the wildlife you get in the caves - bats, crabs and blind moles, and a couple of cracking shots of some chutney ferrets down in the darkest recesses of Kak Canyon. I *love* this book.
