"A trail guidebook to hikes and climbs in Southwestern Colorado, including areas around Durango, Silverton, Missionary Ridge, and Vallecito"--
Über den Autor
John Peel is a newspaper writer and editor, book author, and novelist, and has lived and hiked in Southwest Colorado since 1990. He has climbed more than half the state's Fourteeners but these days gets as much of a thrill out of a good Thirteener. He lives with his wife, Judy, in Durango, Colorado.
