Colorado Mountain Club Field Guides May 2006
A comprehensive, accurate, full-color field guide for anyone who loves Rocky Mountain wildflowers • Complete, concise and easy to use • Authoritative authorship that sets a higher standard for flora field guides • Integrated Life List for the serious wildflower enthusiast "What is that wildflower called?"

It’s a question that every one of us who has hiked, run, or climbed in the Rockies has asked at least 100 times. Rocky Mountain Flora is the result of a lifetime spent tramping through the mountains asking exactly that same question. And the truly unique feature of this book is the hiker was horticulture professor.

Organized by color, Rocky Mountain Flora has all the features of competing titles such as images of each flower, taxonomy, and detailed descriptions. But the unique features of this field guide include a Life List for the serious wildflower enthusiast, the specific location, elevation, and time of year that the flower was found and a special feature called "LOOK FOR" that helps with quick identifications.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful field guide, June 21, 2007
This review is from: Rocky Mountain Flora (Colorado Mountain Club Field Guides) (Paperback)
This guide is very easy to use in the field. It is a soft cover, half page size so it stows easily in my pack. Flowers are categorized by color and easy to look up. It has additional sections on mosses, mushrooms, grasses, etc. A very user friendly guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rocky Mountain Flora, August 12, 2011

This review is from: Rocky Mountain Flora (Colorado Mountain Club Field Guides) (Paperback)
Love this book. Very comprehensive and easy to use. Flowers are categorized by color which makes it easy to search for plant identification. Color photos are very clear and helpful when identifying flora. Some photos also include an extra up-close photo. Book also includes grasses, sedges & rushes, mushrooms, ferns, lichen, mosses, and other native plants--a real bonus! Includes scientific and common names, physical descriptions, ecology, location, and what to look for. Each description has a space for you to record the date and location of when you saw the plant. Extra journal pages are in the back. Can easily be packed for hiking. This is the best and most complete book that I have found for the Rocky Mountain region.

This review is from: Rocky Mountain Flora (Colorado Mountain Club Field Guides) (Paperback)
More details would be nice to see in the next edition. Otherwise, this is a very good guidebook. I really like how the plants are organized by grasses, flower color, mushrooms, lichens.
