You will not have to hike for miles to get to these sites. And John gives you photo tips how to capture these places just like he does. You can enjoy some of the state's prime offerings while you travel, as John profiles his favorite restaurants, hotels, hiking and biking trails, and area attractions. Local lore and cameos of influential Coloradans through the ages highlight the state's fascinating heritage. Whether you're a longtime local, a new resident, or an out-of-state visitor, John Fielder's Best of Colorado guarantees the ultimate insider experience! The 5th Edition of Colorado's best-selling travel guide is the most comprehensive upgrade since the book's publication with over 100 new hotels and restaurants added statewide, and hundreds of updated websites. This edition has over 2,500 resources and is now an even better way to visit for yourself what John has discovered driving and hiking the state!
