Description
While Colorado's 14ers and 13ers are well known and well-traveled, Trails to the Top guides readers off the beaten path - to the very top of some of Colorado's lesser-known, yet no less impressive mountains between 9,000 and 12,000 feet. The 50 unique routes covered in this guide feature amazing views with accessible trailheads for hikers of all skill levels, all located within a couple hours' drive of Denver, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs. The best part about these hikes is that they don't stop short of the summit - these trails take you all the way to the top.
