An amazing historic reference of the explorations of the Glen Canyon before it was drowned under Lake PowellDammed in 1956, the Glen Canyon made Lake Powell the second largest man-made reservoir in the western hemisphereThe Glen Canyon was once the living heart of the Colorado Plateau, disappearing in 1963130 full-color photos, 13 maps, CD-ROM for PC includedIn June of 1949, authors David and Gudy Gaskill pushed off into the Colorado River above fabled Glen Canyon to experience for themselves a journey that Edward Abbey has called the ultimate Homeric voyage. They found a mystical world of soaring sandstone cliffs, raging rapids, fern-decked alcoves, and haunting solitude. Before this national treasure disappeared beneath the waters of Lake Powell in 1963, the Gaskills, family, and friends made numerous trips down Glen Canyon, including its maze of narrow side canyons, recording on film their experiences.Now this priceless archive is available just as the controversy heats up about dismantling some of the great dams in the West. Inspiring writings from a century of river runners--from John Wesley Powell to Wallace Stegner to the irrepressible Edward Abbey-accompany stunning full-color images. Detailed maps show both the old river-miles and modern buoy markers, so that today's recreationalists on Lake Powell can place the treasures that lie beneath the waves. Centuries of human history are documented as the Gaskills record Native American rock art, carved signatures of famous travelers, the dreams of lonely settlers and prospectors, and the building of the dam. As a bonus, an accompanying CD-ROM extends the experience with the sounds, sites, and maps of some of Dave Gaskill's favoritespots. Armchair travelers, lake enthusiasts, and preservationalists will find this a valuable historic reference.

Cooper, Dave

The Best Fort Collins Hikes Trails was written by CMC members for a wide range of readers from experienced hikers who already know much of the local scene to visiting flatlanders who want to enjoy the best of the area. The descriptions range from very easy walks, to a number of moderate hikes, and a few of the difficult and demanding variety. Sixteen Fort Collins Group CMC members became involved with the book at its very beginning. The 20 trails were selected by group consensus and chapter members functioned as individual trail authors, photographers and cartographers. The contributors brought their own expertise and enthusiasm as well as outdoor interests into the hikes. One trail description may say a good deal about geology and natural history while the next one may emphasize the wildflowers that will be found on a particular hike. The book is a pilot project of CMC Press and will be used as a model for local hiking guides developed by CMC groups across Colorado.

From the diverse scenery of its city parks to the 14,115-foot summit of Pikes Peak, the Colorado Springs area has hiking adventures for everyone. 
 The variety of hikes in the Pikes Peak region is astounding. If you are looking for an easy stroll close to town for rumination, a full-day adventure that will leave you gasping for air, or something in between, The Best Colorado Springs Hikes has 20 superb Colorado Springs trails. If you have ever wondered about that big mountain looming over town, you'll find a couple of paths to its summit. Lovers of geology can explore incredible sandstone formations in the Garden of the Gods and Red Rock Open Space, or the smooth granite of the Lost Creek Wilderness. For the less experienced, start with the Greenway Trail that wends its way along Monument Creek through downtown. On the other hand, if you have a good deal of hiking experience you can try the Barr Trail to the top of Pikes Peak--14 miles of steep hiking that is not easy and not particularly accessible.
