An exciting new edition for our popular Southwest Colorado High Country Day Hikes. This new edition has the same trails from Ouray and Silverton as our 1st Edition, but we have taken out the 12 Crested Butte trails and replaced them with 17 new hikes from Lake City. Crested Butte Colorado 65 Scenic Day Hikes continues to be a popular seller so the 12 hikes we have taken out of this edition are still covered in the Crested Butte book. Nicknamed, "A Peak Experience", Lake City is the staging ground for five Colorado 14,000 foot peaks: Handies, Uncompahgre, Wetterhorn, Red Cloud and Sunshine. For peak baggers, this is the place to go; for hikers who don't want to hike to 14,000 feet, you can still hike these trails to lower return points and still experience this grand scenery. We have detailed shorter, easier sections for all abilities. There is much more to the Lake City hikes than 14,000 peaks. The famous Colorado and Continental Divide Trails pass right around Lake City. We have detailed five different sections of these trails so day hikers can enjoy these amazing backpacker routes. So, put your boots on and go Take A Hike! This is Colorado High Country that dreams are made of.

Canyoning is the sport of descending narrow canyon gorges, which have flowing water and rappelling through waterfalls. The canyons of the San Juan and West Elk Mountains in Colorado carve through colorful sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rock layers with an active volcanic geologic history. This guidebook explores technical descents of the waterfalls and narrows found in these spectacular mountain ranges surrounding iconic Colorado mountain towns including Ouray, Silverton, Durango, Pagosa Springs, Telluride, Marble, Lake City and Creede along the Silver Thread Byway. Once an oasis for the Utes, and later a center of silver and gold mining, the San Juan Mountains have become a destination for outdoor recreation. This guide offers a detailed introduction to these special canyons along with historical, ecological and geological information for the area as well as ethics and safety considerations for the sport. In addition to new canyon descents, this book contains updated information on classic Ouray and Silverton canyon routes, with new details about exits and anchors.
