Liz Thomas

Book - 2016

Features 20 of the best hikes along the iconic Continental Divide Trail. Hike some of the more popular and accessible sections of the trail near Denver and Summit County, then venture out on an overnight trek across some of the most remote areas of the state. The Continental Divide Trail runs approximately 800 miles through Colorado, taking hikers through groves of golden aspens, along the shores of snow melt-fed lakes, and to the rocky summits of 13,000-foot peaks with expansive vistas. Includes complete trail descriptions and maps.
