If you are interested in climbing and hiking in the Colorado mountains, here are some great books to consider.

Anne and I have been walking for exercise for several years. Last year we decided it was time to spend more time in the beautiful Colorado mountains. We bought some snowshoes and began snowshoeing on trails near Denver, along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. When summer came, we started hiking. After several beautiful hikes at lower elevations, we began to move higher. On my 55th birthday, August 2, 2003, we climbed Chief Mountain, near Empire, Colorado. I guess you could say when we stood on the peak of this 11,709 foot mountain, we got the fever. In Colorado, there are 54 peaks that are over 14,000 feet, affectionately known as the 14ers. One of the fun things for Colorado hikers is to try and "bag" a 14er. We have one down, Mt. Sherman, and 53 to go.
