Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a must have if you travel the back contry.
Review: Although I don't have this one myself, I have several of their atlas in my 4x4 and when I go to Colorado I will buy this one also. If you go into the back country you must have an atlas of that state from DeLorme Mapping

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Deal
Review: I love this map. I always take it with me when I go anywhere in Colorado. The scale is small enough so that you can see all the little back roads, and it's pretty easy to read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Must Have for every GPS user
Review: It was this book that first convinced me to buy a GPS. We were out 4-wheeling in the Colorado backcountry and met another 4-wheeler. We were looking at his Colorado Atlas and disagreeing at which trail intersection we were at. He pulled out his GPS and said he would settle this. The GPS with the Colorado Atlas proved us both wrong. I went back to town and bought this book and a GPS.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very helpful for travel in remote areas
Review: You should receive the sixth edition (2002) of the DeLorme Colorado Atlas & Gazetteer when you order from Amazon, even though Amazon's listing still shows only the fifth edition (2000). The atlas is indispensable if you're planning to travel on the back roads or the major Forest Service or BLM roads of Colorado. Governmental jurisdictions are well-differentiated by color, and the topographic relief is very nice.

The only caveat is that the scale of the maps in this atlas, at 1:160,000, is too large to show great detail. If you're mountain biking or hiking in remote terrain or on minor trails, you should get additional maps, such as smaller-scale governmental maps or those made by Latitude 40.

Summary: Atlas & outdoor recreation guide for Colorado
Review: You'll find everything from mountain passes and 14ers (14,000 foot peaks) to public lands, river trips, wild trout waters, Gold Medal Streams and much more in this remarkably detailed Atlas. It's set up with a sensible dual scale, with the Interstate 25 corridor and everything west of it mapped at 1:160,000 (1" to 2.5 miles). The more wide-open eastern third of the state is shown at 1:320,000 (1"; to 5 miles). This Atlas is a huge favorite among Coloradans and visitors alike, thanks to its unequaled backroad detail. The maps show and identify primary and secondary forest routes, grassland routes and forest trails, so you can head deep into Colorado's majestic mountains and forests and know exactly where you are every inch of the way. A mosaic of all the maps would measure 8½ feet wide by 9 feet high.
