Explore Galore!

Colorado: An Explorer's Guide offers so much more than the typical traveler's guide. Very well written with an easy going attitude, Colorado gives insight to non-touristy attractions as well as the stuff everyone wants to see. I especially found the listings for the restaurants helpful, as I'm always on the lookout for a good meal. Bottom line is, Colorado: An Explorer's Guide does a lot of the exploration for you ahead of time, allowing the weary traveler to just enjoy Colorado.

The Perfect Travel Companion

This little travel book is well written and totally worth the money. The easy, conversational style is accessible and compelling. The thing that sets this guide apart from others is the attention to smaller details about what is unique to Colorado travel. For instance the Durango Rail Camp entry. Buy this book and you won't be dissapointed.
