Product Description
Colorado's spectacular ski towns—like Aspen, Vail, Telluride, and Crested Butte—offer far more than just skiing: they offer some of the best hiking, mountain biking, fishing, shopping, dining, and lodging in the world, and all year round to boot.

Author Evelyn Spence, a former editor at Skiing magazine and avid outdoorswoman, has turned the state's classic mountain towns upside down to find quirky annual festivals, superb Rocky Mountain cuisine, historic B&Bs, trout-filled streams, powder-choked runs, Manhattan-worthy shopping, and jaw-dropping drives, and combine them in this unique travel guide. Whether you want to sleep under the stars or inside a toasty wilderness lodge, this guide will help you plan the ultimate Colorado mountain experience. 15 maps, 100 black & white photographs, indexes.

1.0 out of 5 stars FIRST error on page 6, March 27, 2008

By	Nancy A. Mccorpin "fishelvis" (Central Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Since the FIRST error is on page 6, the book is nothing that I would recommend. (On the map of the US showing where CO is located, WYOMING was hilighted instead of CO . WTF????) Plus the book seems to be similar to a TV infomercial but for high priced ski towns. Save your $$$$ and buy another CO guide.
