Serving as both a travel guide and an outdoor adventure handbook, Hidden Colorado is truly two guides in one. Veteran travel writer and Colorado native Richard Harris balances coverage of the state's fast-growing tourist industry (including alpine resorts, dude ranches and seasonal festivals) and its vast expanses of unspoiled wilderness. His outdoor coverage runs the gamut from camping and hiking to mountain biking, whitewater rafting and of course skiing.

Wrong Information,
By Nick Wingerd (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hidden Colorado: Including Denver, Boulder, Aspen, Vail, Rocky Mountain National Park and Mesa Verde National Park (Paperback)
The author of this book needs to check his research next time. He wrongly claims that the early settlement of Auraria grew into the present suburb of Aurora--page 45. This is completely incorrect. Auraria was located on the west side of present down-town Denver and merged with Denver in the mid 1800s. Currently the Auraria Higher Education Center, a tri-institutional campus, rests atop the former location of Auraria. Aurora can be found east of down-town Denver and is an independent suburb of Denver. There is no physical way that Auraria became Aurora. How can the author claim to know the hidden charms of Colorado when he demonstrates a complete lack of understanding regarding the state's history and geography?
