This guide to hiking in Colorado describes 100 walks in all regions of Colorado. The hikes described are from about one to 20 miles long. A map illustrates each hike; the directions and information regarding each hike are clear; and a few photos dot the text.
Most of the hikes described are in Colorado's Rocky Mountains at high elevations and are pretty steep. However, a few trails are in urban areas and in flat terrain that are suitable for lazy old duffers like me who like easy, short walks rather than challenges to the cardio-pulmonary system.
The format and the information presented is pretty typical of hiking guides and the descriptions seem to be accurate, although I haven't attempted more than a handful of the hikes.
