| 4WD Adventures : Colorado - The aim of the book is to get SUV owners started on four-wheel driving trails that are scenic, historic and safe. The book offers a stunning Colorado history section, including vivid photographs and nice descriptions about the establishments of townships and quirky facts and contains far more information than its title would lead you to believe. It is an excellent resource for many different facets of the 4WD sport and the state of Colorado. Highly recommended. |

Colorado Lakes & Reservoirs - Find out all you need to know about the recreational opportunity found on (and in) the lakes and reservoirs of the state of Colorado.
| Roadside Geology of Colorado - I like to travel throughout Colorado and have found this book to be very useful in understanding the form and geologic history of the landscape I am traveling through. The book is well illustrated and detailed enough to be useful, at least for the person with a non-professional interest in geology. My major regret is that it is not available on CD or tape so that it could be more efficiently used with only one person in the car! |

| Colorado Byways: Backcountry drives for the Whole Family - Colorado has one of North America's most extensive networks of scenic unpaved backcountry roads, many of them rich in history.

This easy-to-use, glovebox-size guidebook is the most comprehensive backcountry touring guide available for the Centennial State. It depicts not just the scenery, but the history and culture of Colorado as well. You will find backcountry byways through the entire range of Colorado's diverse landscapes, from the river gorges of Dinosaur National Monument to the sky-scraping peaks and passes of the San Juan Mountains. It includes difficulty ratings, information sources, even campgrounds and relevant Internet Web sites. Most routes are rated easy to moderately difficult, although some, like Black Bear Pass, will appeal to adventure drivers who want more challenging 4x4 routes. Happy trails! |

| One of the things I really enjoy is watching
a movie that takes place somewhere I have traveled. It is really neat to
watch a movie and be able to say, "I ate in that restaurant," or "I walked
down that street."
