For nearly 50 years and for generations of outdoor enthusiasts, the authoritative source on Colorado's mountains has been Guide to the Colorado Mountains. Now this new edition compiles updated route descriptions for more than 1,500 hiking and climbing destinations-peaks, passes, lakes, and trails-from the expert trip leaders of the Colorado Mountain Club. All the ranges are covered, with trails and peaks grouped by access and with new maps, photos, and a detailed index. A checklist ranks the peaks in order, and special sections cover climbing history, geology, backcountry use, recommended equipment, and much more.

Just Enough Information To Get You Into Trouble,
By Bradley D. Bryant (Monrovia, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guide to the Colorado Mountains (Paperback)
Unfortunately, this book attempts to include so much of everything that it succeeds in properly covering nothing of anything. It can only be used as a brief overview from which one must then consult (much) more detailed texts of mountains, routes, approaches, etc. For 14er's, I highly recommend Gerry Roach's book -- it is superb.

An encyclopaedic guide to Colorado's mountains,
By A Customer
This review is from: Guide to the Colorado Mountains (Paperback)
Unlike most mountain guidebooks which provide detailed information about a limited number of peaks, this guidebook provides basic, minimal information for getting to nearly every imaginable mountain destination in the state. It is a unique, encyclopaedic reference work, which will help you to discover Colorado's lesser-travelled mountains, while also providing information about the most popular destinations.
