Get this book. You won't find a better Guidebook. I have numerous Guidebooks from several publishers and authors and I haven't seen anything better. The book includes sections on planning your trip, the heritage, natural history and geology of the Colorado Trail.

The book provides a tremendous amount of information. A great deal of effort went into the organization and layout of the information in the book. The individuals that were responsible for making this book available should take tremendous pride in a job very well done.

Note that this book is bigger and heavier than many other Guidebooks because of the great color photographs. I consider this to be a plus. This is a beautiful Guidebook. My other Guidebooks for the most part all have black & white photographs. They all pale in comparison to this beautiful book.

The Colorado Trail: The Official Guidebook Description

This book is your official guide to hiking, backpacking, horsepacking, and bicycling the spectacular Colorado Trail (CT). Whether you're through-hiking the entire trail or doing just a segment at a time, descriptions of every mile are detailed. Information on nearby towns, equipment checklists, food and safety considerations, natural history information, trail profiles, and a full-featured index also included.

This new edition has the latest information on re-routes of the trail and features Gudy's Tips-expert advice from Gudy Gaskill, the "mother" of the CT and author of The Colorado Mountain Club's Peaceful Canyon, Golden River. Dozens of side trips, including hiking up Colorado's famous 14,000-foot peaks, add more fun to the CT experience. Record your adventure in the handy trip logs. Full-color maps for each of the 28 segments are now GPS enabled-with coordinates for every mile marker, campground or trailhead-so that you can utilize the most accurate navigational aids possible.
