Front Range Single Tracks: The Best Single-Track Trails Near Denver & Boulder

Rating:
Summary: Good book for other activities
Review: I agree with the above review that the rating system is not for the novice rider. The author assumes that you are a good-to-pro rider. Expect to push a little harder on the trails than what it states.
Maps are the best part of the book. Most of the trails can be used additionally for hiking, snow shoeing, X-country skiing, and some for camping.
I say you can't go wrong purchasing the book for the price. I also recomend a detailed colorado atlas for getting there if you are unfamiliar with the front range.
Most of the trails are in Jefferson County Open Spaces. Stop by Lookout Mountain Nature Center for park maps if you don't buy the book. They are very helpful.

Summary: suspect trail rating system
Review: This is a good book as far as informing you where the trails along the front-range are. However, his rating system is suspect. First off you just can't rate mountain biking trails with 3 tires, and this fool thinks every trail is simple. Beginners beware some of the trails he rates as easy are pretty darn hard. 3 stars because the direction to the trail heads is excellent.

Summary: Great guide for Denver and front range Mountain Bike rides
Review: Though my husband is an avid Mtn. Biker, I am fairly new at the sport and less experienced. We have been using this book as I gain skills taking me from beginner to advanced trails. The book is nice and small and should fit in your camel back. I would recommend this to anyone living in the area, or planning to vacation in Beautiful Colorado!
