Backroads of Colorado

This is the guide to the 50 most scenic backroads of Colorado, containing the secret routes and highways that lead travellers through the state's most beautiful mountain ranges, alpine wildflower meadows, ghost towns, aspen forests, and more. The authors enhance the reader's Colorado tour with personal and colourful tales as they provide detailed directions for each backroad adventure, along with descriptions of the surrounding area, its history, and interesting points of discovery along the way. This revised edition includes seven new backroads as well as updates on the other tours. It features almost completely new photography with 82 colour images, 47 black-and-white historical photos, and 18 maps. In addition there are now 15 sidebars illuminating famous events and sites in Colorado history. All the routes described are accessible to regular cars.
