About the Author

An avid hiker, cross-country skier and snowshoer, Mary Ellen Gilliland has spent 30 years in the splendid back country around Summit County, Colorado. She knows each lake and wildflower meadow, each wildlife valley and hidden ghost town. That, and an ability to communicate her love of Colorado's majestic high country, combine to create a guidebook that's not only an engaging read but a highly useful trail handbook.

Gilliland is well-loved by her readers: The New Summit Hiker is Summit County, Colorado's best-selling book ever, according "Between the Covers," a best-seller list generated by regional bookstores and published in area newspapers. As a historian, she notes every cluster of cabins and mine ruins, telling hikers the rich details of their mineral rush history. Gilliland has become a familiar personality to thousands of visitors and outdoor lovers. She appears frequently on regional TV shows.

A seasoned researcher and punchy writer, she maintains the position of Summit County, Colorado's chief historian, with five books on the 1800s mining mecca. Gilliland is a former New York City magazine editor who has lived in the Colorado mountains since 1969.
