THis book proved perfect for planning a trip in the Collegiate Peaks area. Really enjoyed everything about it. I would suggest this for anyone entering any of the wilderness areas in Central Colorado. BUY IT!

This book has been one of the best hiking books I've purchased so far. The hikes it has for the Aspen and Maroon Bells area are phenomenal! It also includes some great hikes in the Collegiate peaks area. The only drawback is that about one-third of the hikes in the book require high clearance or 4 wheel drive vehicles to get to.
