All are reached in less than an hour drive from four great base camps, Ouray, Telluride, Silverton and Lake City.The first section of the guide describes the base camps, identifying local services, highlighting nearby attractions and suggesting activities for non-hiking/rainy days. The second section offers detailed trail description with ratings, elevation profiles, maps and photographs of the recommended hikes.
