5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough, informative, fun, May 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Colorado: A Four-Season Guide with Skiing, Hiking, Biking, Fishing, Rafting, Camping and G olf (3rd Edition) (Paperback)

I really liked this guide. It was pretty much on the mark and crammed a lot into a small book. Much easier handling than other books on Colorado and gives a sense of the personality of each town and resort, if not always enough in-depth info on recreation.

This review is from: Fodor's Colorado, 6th Edition (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)

This book was essential to our wonderful trip. I was able to focus on the things that really interested me, and I actually suprised my relatives who live in the area with some little-known places thanks to the book. It is full of useful info and great travel tidbits.

I live in Colorado, but purchased this book after using other Fodor Guides on travels. It's a great way for me to explore my own state, and I've planned some great weekend getaways after receiving this book.
