| Colorado trails--the west-of-Denver trails in particular--beckon enthusiasts
for hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and backpacking amid the natural beauty of the foothills and the Rocky Mountains. Foothills to Mount Evans, West of Denver Trail Guide, recently updated in its seventh edition, provides directions to trailheads, topographic maps, and
a brief description of trails on public lands to the west of Colorado's primary metropolitan area.
Colorado's dynamic trail-building programs provide a continuously expanding
network of opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts to exchange the sedentary for the invigorating in the quiet preserves of land which belong to us all. It is the goal of this trail guide to facilitate the transition from the urban setting to the point at which we leave our cars behind to enjoy the
quiet freedom of the wilderness. |
