Who says you have to travel far from home to go on a great hike, paddle, or bike ride? Best Outdoor Adventures the Colorado Front Range details the best hikes, paddles, climbs, and mountain biking routes within a few hour's drive of the Denver metro area, perfect for the urban dweller and suburbanite who may be hard-pressed to find great outdoor activities close to home.

Taking on one of Coloradös 53 fourteeners¿from stately Longs Peak and the iconic Maroon Bells to the easy to access Mt. Bierstadt¿is becoming a pilgrimage for Coloradös residents and its visitors. While more people than ever are climbing them, there¿s still a dearth of good information about each mountain and its surrounding areas. Hiking Coloradös Fourteeners fills that gap by informing adventurers¿from the freshly-booted novice to the grizzled mountaineer¿about each of Coloradös iconic mountains over 14,000 feet tall.
