Snowshoe Routes by Alan Apt

Anybody that starts his book off with a quote from David Brower is a hero of mine. Aside from my political views , the book is a wonderful, comprehensive, pratical guide to routes all over the State of Colorado . The author also seems to blend in the environmental ethic -a much needed touch for most "guide books ". This book will be prominent on my outdoor shelf.Dan B
