Product Description

The Number One authority on the mountains of Colorado presents the most convenient and up-to-date guide to climbing the state’s fifty-four 14,000-foot peaks—featuring low-impact trails approved by the Colorado Fourteener Initiative.

Mountains do not change, but access to them does. And no other source is more dependable for the most complete and accurate climbing information than the Colorado Mountain Club. Formed in 1912, the CMC has been both the advocate for mountaineering and the repository of mountain lore and knowledge for nearly all the the twentieth century.

The pocket guide contains clear, concise directions for driving to the sites, where to leave your vehicle, the approved trails, which USGS maps to carry, and a special personal journal section for recording notable details of each climb. Save precious backpack space; with this guide, everything you need fits right in your back pocket!

About the Author

Ania Savage has been a member of the CMC since 1984 and a leader of trail crews for the Colorado Fourteener Initiative since 1994.

1.0 out of 5 stars Donations appreciated, June 27, 2000

By A Customer

This book is about as useful as a Rand McNally state map. Basically here's how to get to the mountain and good luck. No maps/photos. The CMC appreciates your donation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful little guide not meant for the Himalayas!, May 23, 2001

By A Customer

Anyone griping about the lack of the big features in this guide should realize that this is a basic guide just by glancing at it. This guide was meant for the beginners and families with children. Those who feel that they must have every typographic map of the state of Colorado should visit some mega sports store, where they get their $500 NorthFace parkas.
