Everyone knows that
the Colorado Rockies contain some
of the most spectacular trails in
the country. Now the Colorado Mountain
Club reveals some of its favorites
for trail runners. Colorado Classics:
Run the Rockies contains detailed
information for 50 classic trail
runs chosen for their proximity
to the major population centers
of the Front Range, as well as their
incredible scenic qualities and
appeal to runners of all abilities.
Here you’ll find everything
you need to enjoy the best that
the state has to offer: accurate
access and route descriptions, detailed
maps and elevation profiles, running
techniques, equipment checklists,
and safety tips. Fully GPS enabled
means that you can use the newest
navigational technology to keep
you on the right trail.
Runners who want to spend more time
running then reading can take advantage
of the special “GO!” boxes
with encapsulated route information.
A color coded rating system from
beginner to expert takes the guesswork
out of choosing a run, and an easy-to-understand
system of symbols quickly identifies
runs that are seasonal, or are dog
friendly, or require fees. And there’s
much more, including specially marked
trails that are all time favorites
with the Colorado Mountain Club.
Steven Bragg has been climbing peaks
around the world and running trails
for nearly two decades. He is past
president of the 10,000-member Colorado
Mountain Club and an author of nearly
a dozen books. He lives and works
in the Denver, Colorado area.
