Located thirty-fi ve miles west of Fort Collins, this wilderness encompasses 67,000 acres. Each trail description includes a comment section by the authors that reviews the features of the route, followed by detailed instructions on how to fi nd the trailhead and precise route instructions. Each description includes a topographical map and color photos of the trail.
