Description
Hidden guides combine unique travel choices, outdoor adventures and little-known locales into a guide where vacations meet adventures. Each guide includes detailed maps, complete internet information for each listing, highlighted author favorites, suggested itineraries and walking and driving tours. Serving as both a travel guide and an outdoor adventure handbook, Hidden Colorado is truly two guides in one. Veteran travel writer and Colorado native Richard Harris balances coverage of the state's fast-growing tourist industry (including alpine resorts, dude ranches and seasonal festivals) and its vast expanses of unspoiled wilderness. His outdoor coverage runs the gamut including 70 parks and wilderness areas, 30 alpine ski spots, 30 snowshoeing trail networks, 38 rental stables with trail outfitters, 24 whitewater rafting companies and 53 fishing streams. The book also zeros in on the state's Western heritage including 53 beautifully restored turn-of-the-century historic hotels, 14 cowboy saloons, 14 stores with Western art and 9 with Indian art. This edition features 20 new maps.
