5.0 out of 5 stars An indispensable guide for tourists and residents alike., May 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Pikes Peak Region Traveler: The Complete Touring Guide (Paperback)

This book gives detailed descriptions for ten tours covering the entire Pikes Peak region. Mileages are recorded from easy-to-find intersections and are accurate and easy to follow. However, the best features of this guidebook are the behind-the-scenes details of the historical figures, and the wonderful color pictures of the major animals and plants that may be encountered on each of the tours. The book is beautifully published, with color pictures or historical photographs on virtually every page. The tours themselves range from the top of Pikes Peak to the Air Force Academy to lesser known treasures like the Dinosaur Depot in Cañon City and the historic west side of Colorado Springs. Essential to visitors, this book will also inform and delight long-time residents who will discover new reasons to love this area.

5.0 out of 5 stars the definitive tour guide for the thinking person, May 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Pikes Peak Region Traveler: The Complete Touring Guide (Paperback)

Visitors to the famous Pikes Peak region of Colorado must read this book before leaving this treasure trove of Mother Nature. The author writes as though she has walked every square mile of this vast region covering many different climate zones from high plains desert to the alpine summit of Pikes Peak rising over two miles high. This book covers the human history of the region rich in western exploration and ancient native american people. The flora and fauna treatment of the environment is written by an expert. This is a beautifully researched book for the traveler who wants to learn while still being a tourist.

The book was received well within the estimated delivery date and was in great shape. There were no problems of any kind and it was a gift for a friend and she loved it and can't wait to see Colorado for herself. Great Job.
