Can't see Colorado without it... buy it, read it, live it,
By A Customer
This review is from: Colorado Scenic Guide: Souther Region (Paperback)
Gregory knows Colorado and has written the best travel companion for Southern Colorado. Like Scenic Colorado - Northern Region, this volume is tighly constructed to offer the traveler the best, in-depth information for enjoying the region.Included are very detailed directions to breathtaking sights that most would miss without Gregory's assistance. Also included are very accurate suggestion on how long you'll want to plan to visit a site, best times of day to take photos at the site and many other helpful tips. Knowing Colorado as he does, Gregory shares both his knowledge, and passion, for the region with his readers in a well prepared text that allows the traveler to discover and enjoy the state in a way usually reserved for the natives.

Lots of information other guidebooks don't have,

This review is from: Colorado Scenic Guide: Souther Region (Paperback)
We've been to Colorado a number of times but had no idea most of the sites described ever existed. I guess that's because most guidebooks don't include things accessable only by dirt roads. If you have or can rent a four wheel drive, this is a must.
