About the Author

About the Authors 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. In addition to this book they have authored or contributed to a number of other travel guides, including Frommer's Colorado, Frommer's Utah, Frommer's Rocky Mountain National Park, Frommer's Zion & Bryce Canyon National Parks, and Frommer's National Parks of the American West.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really helpful for vacation planning!, July 5, 2000
I just used this book while on a vacation in these areas of Colorado. The reccomendations in the book are very helpful and the use of this book really helped make my vacation a success. It is very easy to read and follow and FULL of information about both the sites in the book and interesting history of the area. Great book to buy if you are planning a vacation to Colorado.
