Title: Great collection of hikes in a compact-sized format!
Review: My husband and I are going to be spending two months in CO Springs this summer, and I feel like this book will be our bible for the duration of our trip! What a perfect collection of destinations no more than an hour or so from the center of town. Before we got this book, I was very overwhelmed with all the possible hiking destinations in the area, and researching online led me down too many rabbit holes. Although not obvious, this book is organized by geographic areas, so, for example, all of the Garden of the Gods/Manitou Springs/Red Rock Open Space hikes are listed consecutively. I sat one afternoon and plugged each hike into Google Maps to calculate its proximity to and direction from our Airbnb, so it will be easy to pick a hike quickly on an afternoon with limited time. Love that the book is lightweight and small for carrying in our backpack.

Title: Great format & descriptions of the hikes in Colorado Springs
Review: Great hikes with good information. However, if you aren't from CS you'll need a computer or map of the state to see where some of these locations are in relation to CS. Many hikes are "DAY DRIVES" to get to the hike. Hikes such as Garden of the God's are not necessary since the paths are obvious & well marked - can't miss G of the G's (visitor center has great maps) But the rating, the terrain, the trails of the local hikes were great.
