Anyone know the best guidebook that covers high country trails within a few hours of Denver?
TIA

Steve:
At first, I was going to send you a list of the many books I have that cover
this area. But I realized that was overkill.
I'd just go to a few shops and look around. (That's the way I've found many a
useful guide book.)
Two books I'll mention directly:
1. Salida Singletrack, by Nathan Ward, and
2. Colorado Gonzo Mountain Bike Rides, by Michael Merrifield
The first one is kind of new, but has some great rides from Leadville down to Salida.
The second one is by a friend of mine. It's kind of dated, now, (it came out
10 years ago???), but it's got a boat load of great (gonzo

) rides.
And, of course, you can always hit a LBS in the area -- the one in Leadville
is very helpful.
