This book details all the best rivers for kayaking and raftingin Colorado. It is a must have for anyone who kayaks in colorado.This book details put-ins, take-outs and detailed information about rapids in most of the rivers in colorado. Great resource! END

Easily the best book on boating in Colorado! With all the information you need to get from put in to take out. If you plan on doing any boating in Colorado, you need this book. The river is my road and Colorado Rivers and Creeks II is my bible. It can't be beat!

I bought this book as a means of finding places to paddle whitewater after moving from New England to Colorado. Boy did it deliver and then some! The Beta section for each run provides a good idea as to what the run will be like (difficulty, length, gradient, elevation), season, gauge, and put-in/take-out. The descriptions are then more than helpful at filling in whatever else is needed before trying out the section of river. The maps are perfect for assisting with finding the put in, take out, and locations of portages around dangers (dams, low bridges).

Not one square inch of space is wasted either. Besides all the useful information, there are lots of great pictures, stories, and discussion of the laws and access issues that are relevant when paddling Colorado whitewater.

On a final note, I purchased the book from patches263, which at the time was the only bookseller selling new copies. I think it was one of the authors, because I got a nice note/autographed copy from "Dave". The book came quickly and in perfect condition.

Accurate descriptions and great photos combine to make this more than just a guidebook. The pages are also filled with interesting stories and detailed maps which afford the readers easy access to many great adventures. This book is worth buying just for the photos.Dancing on the Edge of an Endangered Planet
