Colorado has hundreds of stories to tell, and they’re not to be heard along the interstate! Discover Adler Publishing’s newest release Backcountry Adventures Colorado and explore all Colorado has to offer. Visit ghost towns such as Animas Forks and Ruby, where miners once flocked for their chance to strike it rich. Travel in the path of such famous explorers, outlaws, and prospectors as Ferdinand Hayden, Doc Holliday, and Horace Tabor. Stare in awe at the breathtaking scenery at the top of some of Colorado’s tallest peaks.

Backcountry Adventures Colorado is a treasure trove of information for outdoor enthusiasts. The book is full of the best off-road trails from all four corners of the state and everything in between. With over 143 trails, ranging from easy to challenging, Adler left no stone unturned in finding Colorado’s most exciting trails, whether it be for their stunning views, fascinating history or sheer opportunity for adventure. 

Like the other guides in the Backcountry Adventures series, Backcountry Adventures Colorado provides a helpful, concise chart with each trail description, listing starting and finishing point, mileage, driving time, and elevation. Difficulty ratings make it easier to match trails with your skill level. Additionally, detailed trail descriptions and directions, complete with GPS coordinates, ensure that you’ll never get lost. The inclusion of topographic maps means you can picture almost every bump, turn, and jog along the trail.

Hundreds of photos bring the trail to life before your trip has even begun, while trail histories provide context for everything you will see. An Along the Trail section at the beginning of the book gives a brief snapshot of towns, both thriving and deserted, as well as short biographies of the characters that inhabited or passed through them. There are also descriptions and photos of plants and animals of the region to help you identify them along the way.

Head into Colorado’s backcountry and discover the many secrets this state has to offer!
