5.0 out of 5 stars Good Guidebook, February 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Snowshoeing Colorado (Paperback)

I own a lot of summer and winter trail guides, and this is one of the best. It's quality and quantity, with dozens of trails all over the state, and also tours, races and even a few tips on cool places to eat and stay. It has maps showing the trailhead locations, but I wish it had topos too. Oh well, you can't have everything--and topos are the only thing missing here.

This review is from: Snowshoeing Colorado, 2nd Ed. (Paperback)

I picked up this book at the local library, and now I plan to buy it. Claire really knows her topic! My only quibble with the book (2nd edition) is that in a few places she didn't delete information from the 1st edition, but merely superimposed a black box saying "trail closed" or "this restaurant is now closed". This is somewhat bizarre, and might be an editing/production error. In any case, this is a valuable guide that I want on my bookshelf!

A great reference for Colorado snowshoeing. The directions to each trailhead and the trail descriptions are spot on! Highly recommended for those interested in exploring Colorado by snowshoe.
