Synopsis

Newly revised and updated, this award-winning history and guidebook to the Denver Mountain Parks is now back in print. This second edition features an authoritative history of the 23 mountain parks and 25 mostly inaccessible conservation areas which total more than 14,000 acres and comprise one of the most expansive and unique park systems in the West. All outside Denver city limits, they extend across the mountains and foothills of Jefferson, Clear Creek, Douglas and Grand Counties, Colorado. From the oak woodlands of Daniels Park, where the legendary Indian Scout Kit Carson built his last campfire, to the alpine lake near Mt. Blue Sky with a 10,000 year old fen and plants found nowhere else outside the Arctic Circle, the parks showcase an extraordinary variety of settings.

Denver Mountain Parks' visitors can enjoy a world-class concert at Red Rocks, the most acoustically perfect amphitheater in the world, ski the international resort at Winter Park, and explore important historic sites such as Lookout Mountain, the final resting place of Buffalo Bill Cody--in addition to hiking, fishing, golfing, picnicking or simply relaxing.

The book includes a foreword by Colorado historian Tom Noel, 50 photographs and 25 then-and-now photo pairs by award-winning photographer John Fielder, plus 75 historic images.
