From the Author
Come hike Summit County, Colorado's beautiful back country! These 50 trails lie in some of the most beautiful mountain terrain on the planet. Alpine wildflowers abound. Deer and elk browse lush meadows. Sparkling streams cut through deep green forests. Mountain lakes ripple with trout. Come hike (or cross country ski and snowshoe in winter) these scenic mountain trails!
No other book among the eleven that I've written has yielded the joy that The New Summit Hiker has given me. The opportunity to ascend peak after peak in one of America's pristine high country retreats has impressed on me the splendor of creation. Summit County, Colorado is one of our country's loftiest beauty spots. The views of mountain range after mountain range, like white capped waves on the ocean, that one gains from 12,000 feet is unforgettable. Because Summit County starts so high, it's neither a long nor arduous walk to some of these panoramic high passes and peaks.
Another bonus beyond the glorious scenery lies in the mining heritage that the gold rushers left behind here in Summit County. Ghost towns, mineral camps, narrow gauge railway relics, mine tipples, shaft houses and equipment remain to emit echoes of our gold rush past. I admit I am fascinated with this history-in fact I have devoted several books to just that subject. It is a pleasure to share with my readers my knowledge of the prospectors, claim jumpers, shyster lawyers, shady ladies, preachers, schoolmarms and entrepreneurs who paraded across our past.
