Book Reviews of Best Hikes with Children in Colorado

Book Review: Great Book!
Summary: 5 Stars

We just got back from Colorado with our 3 boys ages 12, 9,and 6 years. This book was indispensible for all of our hikes. It did a great job of providing us with difficulty, length, and locations of the various trailheads. Moreover, it was super in providing fun information regarding points of interest along the hike -- made the hikes more fun for all of us. I highly recommend this book for anyone traveling to Colorado -- great even if you don't have kids!!!
