Climbing Colorado's Fourteeners - Paperback

by Chris Meehan (Author)

Taking on one of Colorado's 53 fourteeners--from stately Longs Peak and the iconic Maroon Bells to the easy to access Mt. Bierstadt--is becoming a pilgrimage for Colorado's residents and its visitors. While more people than ever are climbing them, there's still a dearth of good information about each mountain and its surrounding areas. Hiking Colorado's Fourteeners fills that gap by informing adventurers--from the freshly-booted novice to the grizzled mountaineer--about each of Colorado's iconic mountains over 14,000 feet tall.
