2.0 out of 5 stars Not the Best, January 8, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Colorado Off the Beaten Path: A Guide to Unique Places, 7th Edition (Paperback)

The author seems to ramble when describing some places that are a "must see". For example, 3 full pages were spent describing a climbing trip, describing only one rock face feature in Boulder, while there were many other places that tourists may be interested in, were not even given a mention. Overall, I found this to be a disappointing travel guide. There are better out there, keep on looking. You never know, you may actually find something that is "off the beaten path".
