HIKING
There are thousands if not tens of thousands of miles of trails along Colorado’s Front Range. This collection of hikes highlight some of the most awesome and unique trails the region has to offer while not focusing on the most famous places like Rocky Mountain National Park. From challenging, epic mountain climbs to family-friendly hikes to amazing places, these are among the most incredible hiking adventures along Colorado’s Front Range.
CLIMBING
Colorado is a land of rock. All across the state, cliffs and canyons, geological uprisings and erosion have created incredible opportunities for climbing that draw people from around the world. This book covers some of the state’s most amazing areas, from Eldorado Canyon and Shelf Road to other areas as well-loved but not necessarily as well-known. From single-pitch sport climbs to epic trad multi-pitch adventures, there’s something for every climber…
CYCLING
The hills and mountains along Colorado’s Front Range provide endless opportunities for road as well as mountain bikers and gravel grinders. Many of the hiking areas in this book, like Mount Falcon, Walker Ranch, Staunton State Park, and Horsetooth Reservoir, also offer fun mountain biking opportunities, but there are also many incredibly fun purpose-built trails in the region, places like Centennial Cone Park and the incredibly fun network of trails built by the volunteers of the Salida Mountain Trails.
PADDLING
For a state so arid, there’s a surprising amount of water in Colorado. It’s home to major reservoirs, rivers, creeks, and streams. Its high-mountain rivers feed the plains states to the east; to the west its rivers feed states from Texas and Nevada to California. As a major headwaters state with significant elevation, Colorado has some of the best whitewater in the country. These are the best places to get a taste of all the wet fun the Centennial State has to offer.
