From slick rock canyons to alpine wilderness, no scenery in the United States equals the diversity of Colorado's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands. From the world's second greatest accumulation of natural arches to towering 14,000-foot peaks, the number of places you never know existed will astonish you- and Mark Pearson has visited them all. His accurate directions and sensitive descriptions of canyon ecosystems make this book as necessary for your trip as a compass and a full bottle of water. This newly revised and expanded edition features a fresh look, more photographs, two additional wilderness areas, topographical maps and a special highlighted hikes feature.

Hiking Colorado BLM,
By A Customer
This review is from: Colorado's Canyon Country (Paperback)
Great guidebook! I have lived in Colorado for 36 years. What a treat to discover more places to hike, float, and camp in my own backyard! The maps and trail descriptions were just right. I also agree with Fielder and Pearson about protecting these areas from development and overuse by motorized vehicles.

By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Colorado's Canyon Country (Paperback)
Mark Pearson's Colorado's Canyon Country: A Guide to Hiking & Floating BLM Wildlands is an absolutely gorgeous, full-color hiking guide filled with 51 easy-to-read maps, as well as photographs, survival tips, desert etiquette, and instructions for how you can help with wilderness issues. Each of the many suggested hikes is outlined on the maps and has its length listed, as well as its low and high elevations and its approximate difficulty. The paper used for printing is thick, durable stock, for this book is meant to be taken on the road. If you're planning a hiking trip to Colorado, get this book!
