Best Summit Hikes Denver to Vail (eBook, ePUB)

Hikes and Scrambles Along the I-70 Corridor

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

From little-known beauties like Coon Hill and Silver Plume Mountain to classic climbs like Peak 1 and Torreys Peak, Best Summit Hikes Denver to Vail provides detailed, accurate information on more than 60 summits that are within a 1.5-hour drive from the Denver/Boulder metro area. Local author James Dziezynski guides readers to rarely documented peaks and along wonderful adventures that are easy to access yet provide a true wilderness setting in a matter of minutes. This is a great resource for those who don't have the time to drive far away for other popular mountains and may want to learn more about the fantastic peaks that are closer than they think.

Other Colorado guidebooks focus on specific ranges or peaks grouped by elevation, but Best Summit Hikes Denver to Vail focuses on the most heavily traveled part of Colorado and is as useful for tourists as it is for locals. The wealth of great adventures close to home is a bit of a secret, even for veteran outdoors explorers.

James Dziezynski is a best-selling author and writer whose outdoors guidebooks bring a unique narrative voice to the Colorado mountains. By combining his love of words with his love of adventure, he's been an active voice in the outdoors community for over 15 years. He is especially fond of finding amazing places off the beaten path but close to home, though that hasn't stopped him from exploring such far-off places as Antarctica, Greenland, the high Canadian Arctic, Japan, and Patagonia.
