This year I became a Colorado Centennial Peak Finisher！ In this journey， I also resummited most of the 14ers as they are typically attached or in the same area as the Centennials。 I tried to resummit from a different route， so this book definitely came in handy to route plan。 I can definitely say I’ve read this from cover to cover many times over in pair with Roach’s 13ers book for coverage on all peaks and how to link together。 This is an essential guidebook for any hiker wanting to route plan This year I became a Colorado Centennial Peak Finisher！ In this journey， I also resummited most of the 14ers as they are typically attached or in the same area as the Centennials。 I tried to resummit from a different route， so this book definitely came in handy to route plan。 I can definitely say I’ve read this from cover to cover many times over in pair with Roach’s 13ers book for coverage on all peaks and how to link together。 This is an essential guidebook for any hiker wanting to route plan the 14er Peaks。 A few things I’ve learned from Roach: 1） If he says it’s going to be a slog， it’s going to be a major slog。 2） If he says the route is faint。。。twenty years later it is almost nonexistent。 3） Add a couple of extra miles onto his estimated mileage。 😆 4） His Roach points on are point！ Learn how to use them early on in your journey to estimate your time。 。。。more

A guidebook known for its accuracy and comprehensiveness， Colorado’s Fourteeners includes GPS coordinates， topographic maps， route details， and descriptions reflecting alterations to trail access。 Besides the often-climbed standard routes， the guide describes many alternative and technical routes。 A great resource book。

Probably the best 14ers guide available。 It definitely opens up 14ers even to relatively mediocre hikers such as myself。 There are a couple problems with the book， though: （a） the maps are a bit difficult to read， and （b） Just because a route to the summit is marked， that doesn't mean it's a real trail。 When Gerry says "a bit of rough terrain，" expect to be bushwacking for hours。 Probably the best 14ers guide available。 It definitely opens up 14ers even to relatively mediocre hikers such as myself。 There are a couple problems with the book， though: （a） the maps are a bit difficult to read， and （b） Just because a route to the summit is marked， that doesn't mean it's a real trail。 When Gerry says "a bit of rough terrain，" expect to be bushwacking for hours。 。。。more

This book is undeniably helpful to avid hikers。 As a beginner however I'm not sure that this is the book I ought to have started with。 I'm hoping to work up to some of these trails but there are many that I'm aware I will never conquer。 This book is undeniably helpful to avid hikers。 As a beginner however I'm not sure that this is the book I ought to have started with。 I'm hoping to work up to some of these trails but there are many that I'm aware I will never conquer。 。。。more

This is a great reference book。 I probably picked it up more than a dozen times over the summer to read about the most common routes and alternative routes。 This will always have a place on my bookshelf。

If you like to hike mountains， and want to hike the 14，000 foot mountains （fourteeners） in Colorado， this is the must-have book。 This edition is probably a bit old now， but still the benchmark book to learning the routes， difficulties， directions to trailheads， and the payoff of each mountain's routes， from hikes to climbs。 If you like to hike mountains， and want to hike the 14，000 foot mountains （fourteeners） in Colorado， this is the must-have book。 This edition is probably a bit old now， but still the benchmark book to learning the routes， difficulties， directions to trailheads， and the payoff of each mountain's routes， from hikes to climbs。 。。。more

I've lived in Colorado all my life and two years ago， I started my experience with Colorado 14ers。 I may not be the most avid climber， but I do plan on climbing these amazing mountains for many years to come。 After my second mountain， I realized that I was going to need a way to keep track and better plan my future climbs and， being that I worked at a bookstore， I had a pretty good opportunity to look through many books on the subject。 I found this book to be by far the best guide of its type。 I I've lived in Colorado all my life and two years ago， I started my experience with Colorado 14ers。 I may not be the most avid climber， but I do plan on climbing these amazing mountains for many years to come。 After my second mountain， I realized that I was going to need a way to keep track and better plan my future climbs and， being that I worked at a bookstore， I had a pretty good opportunity to look through many books on the subject。 I found this book to be by far the best guide of its type。 It gives all the information that a climber will need to climb every last fourteener and does so in a way that is enjoyable and easy to understand without giving away any of the thrills and experiences of the climb itself。 I highly recommend this book to anybody who wants to climb even just one of these amazing mountains。 。。。more

This was indispensable when planning on climb up Mt。 of the Holy Cross in 2004。 Packed with info。 If you want to walk/hike/climb a fourteener in Colorado， this has EVERYTHING you need to know。

TONS of information in here。 I found the driving directions to be worded a bit wacky - but hey， getting lost ain't always bad。 TONS of information in here。 I found the driving directions to be worded a bit wacky - but hey， getting lost ain't always bad。 。。。more
