Hiking in Colorado is one of those must-do, bucket-list type of activities. But nearly every square inch of the state offers something fascinating, so where do you begin? Rod Martinez, a board member at Grand Valley Power in Grand Junction, avid hiker and talented photographer, compiled three comprehensive guidebooks that can serve as a jumping-off point to exploring and experiencing the beauty of the Rocky Mountains. Two additional guides featuring hikes in Utah were recently added to the collection.
With such locales as Maroon Bells near Aspen, Blue Lake Trail near Telluride, Crag Crest Trail near Grand Junction, these guidebooks are just what every walker, hiker, snowshoer and scrambler needs, whether novice or professional. Plan your next trip with these pack guides (Colorado Mountain Club, $12.95), found at local bookstores and online.
