With Colorado finally starting to thaw out from an epic winter, it’s time to start thinking about hitting the trail. If you spend any time hiking Colorado’s vast network of trails, Pete KJ’s new book Base Camp Denver should be on your bookshelf (or permanently stashed in your glove box). Base Camp Denver covers 101 trails within easy striking distance of metro Denver. Organized into eight different zones, including Fort Collins, Longmont & Loveland, Boulder, Denver, Idaho Springs & Georgetown, Summit County, Conifer & Bailey, and South of Denver, readers can easily scope out hikes closest to them. Detailed pages for each hike include photos, map, difficulty, best season, trail conditions, features, solitude rating, family friendliness, and more. Base Camp Denver is a priceless resource for anyone looking to hit Colorado’s trails.
