The newest addition to Westcliffe's series of wilderness area guidebooks profiles the state's 15 designated and 83 proposed wilderness areas. Illustrated by handy maps and Leland Howard's breathtaking photographs, the text couples Lynna Howard's wry wit with her meticulously crafted trail descriptions. The result is an eye-pleasing guide both functional to use and entertaining to read.
