Description

This guide will satisfy outdoor recreationists' thirst for adventure with descriptions of more than sixty scenic trails to hike, gnarly single tracks to bike, and winter wonderlands to ski. Covering the entire region of the San Juan Mountains in Colorado, these trails are accessible from anywhere in the southwestern United States. Jeff La Frenierre is a professional cartographer and award-winning photographer. He shares his knowledge and appreciation for the awe-inspiring beauty and terrain of the San Juan Mountains. Each trail description begins with a profile that provides distance, elevation range, and trail conditions, and suggests the necessary maps to help navigate a safe journey followed by in-depth directions. Also included is an Adventure Locator at the end of the book, which is divided into four sections with maps and tables. This is a quick and handy reference for planning activities from day-long skiing excursions to afternoon mountain bike rides, with suggestions for base camps in the towns nearest to each trailhead.
