Colorado's Canyon Country: A Guide to Hiking and Floating Blm Wildlands

A guide to 48 of Colorado's most spectacular canyon country locations, including 39 Colorado BLM Wilderness Study Areas. Awe-inspiring, high- quality color photos illustrate each entry. Entries give information on day hikes, loop hikes, destination hikes, and shuttle hikes, with directions, difficulty ratings, and descriptions of scenic areas. Most areas described do not contain marked and maintained trials. This second edition features more photos, two additional wilderness areas, topographical maps, and a special highlighted hikes feature. Pearson has been active in Colorado wilderness issues with the Sierra Club and the Colorado Environmental Coalition for 20 years; photographer John Fielder's work has been featured in some 30 exhibit-format books and guidebooks.
