This review is from: Hiking Colorado's Geology (Hiking Geology) (Paperback)
When I ordered this book, I was concerned that it might beintended only for backpackers (something I'm not up to). To myrelief, the vast majority of the hikes (and there are fifty of them) are no more than three miles round trip. Each one has complete instructions on how to reach the starting point and detailed descriptions of what you'll see. Our only problem is deciding which hikes to take in the time we'll have on our next vacation to Colorado.

This review is from: Hiking Colorado's Geology (Hiking Geology) (Paperback)
This book is easy to read and understand. I love the outdoors and hike a lot in Colorado and am always interested in knowing about what I'm looking at whether it is wildflowers, wild mushrooms, plants, animals or the landforms I'm hiking on. This book describes perfectly the formations that we can see today. I love this book and wish they would write a sequel about more of Colorado's beautiful geology and the many trails to hike.

This review is from: Hiking Colorado's Geology (Hiking Geology) (Paperback)
Very good book making Colorado geology accessible to anyone who can walk to the sites outlined here. Hikes are even more enjoyable because of the extra dimension of knowing something about the area.
