About the Author

A Denver-based freelance writer, Eric Peterson has contributed to numerous Frommer’s guides covering the American West, and written Frommer’s Montana & Wyoming, Frommer’s Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks, and Ramble: A Field Guide to the U.S.A. (www.speckpress.com). Peterson also writes about travel and other topics for such publications as ColoradoBiz, United Hemispheres, Delta Sky, and the New York Daily News. In his free time, he’s an avid camper and hiker, a lifelong Broncos fan, and part-time rock star (at least in the eyes of his niece Olivia).

Residents of northern New Mexico since 1970, Don and Barbara Laine have traveled extensively throughout the Rocky Mountains and the Southwest, spending as much time as possible in the outdoors, and especially in the region’s national parks and monuments. They have written Frommer’s guides to Utah, Colorado, and the National Parks of the American West. The Laines have also authored Little-Known Southwest, New Mexico & Arizona State Parks, and Best Short Hikes in Arizona for The Mountaineers; and The New Mexico Guide for Fulcrum Publishing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Colorad Guide, June 29, 2003
By 
"gillianld" (Oklahoma City, OK United States) - See all my reviews
This is a well written guide book that is really easy to use. If you want to read all about Colorado before you go it has an easy style and entertaining commentary that makes it an enjoyable and informative read. If, on the other hand, you just want to look up some information about what there is to do or see in a place you have just arrived in, the index and easy to read headings make this a quick and easy guide to use. It also contains some very current information about the area and includes web addresses to look up for further details about specific attractions. Restaurant recommendations are good - I tried out a few! Like other Frommers guides it has a good pull-out colour map and useful small street plans in the book. All in all I would give this book a thumbs up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended, June 22, 2004
By 
jjlash (Iowa, United States) - See all my reviews
We used this book to plan a two week "tour" of the front range and it was great. I particularly like the way it is organized by city or region, then by activity (accomodations, dining, attractions etc).

After skimming the areas we planned to visit once, I went back and made a list of the things we wanted to see and do. The book provided hours, prices, phone numbers and directions for each item. This helped plan the day so we didnt miss something because it was closed.

The descriptions are fairly complete and offer more info than the "hotel tourist stand" brochure from the same place. This let us decide, in advance, to skip things that were overly expensive or didnt sound appealing, instead of being disappointed for having spent the time and money.

The guide also has info for lots of places that the state tourism department packet left out.

On the same trip, we used the Insider's Guide to the Bad Lands and Black Hills and, even though it used a similar organization we found it much less useful.
