"The most complete and thorough guide available to the magnificent recreational opportunities that Colorado's fourteeners offer."
—Mark Hesse, executive director, American Mountain Foundation
"Dawson's Guide should be the bible for a long time to come. His experience, especially on the ski routes, comes second to none."
—Peter Shelton, contributing editor, Ski Magazine
"The most comprehensive, well-designed guide to the fourteeners that's been done."
—Jane Koerner, first woman to climb Colorado's 100 highest peaks
"Not just a list of hikes, this guide provides data on technical climbs as well as standard routes. It includes beta on both summer and winter climbs, and assesses the difficulty of the routes, including ski descents and snow climbs. An encyclopedia of information that used to be available only by word of mouth."
—Rock & Ice Magazine
"For each peak you'll find a clear, black&white aerial, or high angle , photo, with a dotted line and number showing the route...these photos make perfectly clear what words cannot."
—Back Country Magazine
"Dawson has written a practical, down-to-earth treatise on the mountains that have been his home for nearly 30 years. Replete with maps, photos, and other visual aids, and sprinkled with the kind of hard-won knowledge only gained from many months spent in the backcountry in all seasons, Dawson's Guide to Colorado's Fourteeners puts hikers, skiers, and climbers in the right place at the right time. But beyond the basics, this book inspires you to explore and experience the wilderness magic of the high peaks of the Colorado Rockies."
