Book Reviews of Motorcycle Journeys Through the Rocky Mountains
Book Review: Skip this if you already live in the Rockies
Summary: 2 Stars
First let me say the quality of this is first rate, publishing and writing. However, for someone who lives in Denver and the heart of the Rockies I was very disappointed.
Buy this book if 1.) You do NOT live in or near the Rockies. 2.) You are NOT "savvy" reading recreational atlas maps, AAA Guides, or using the Internet or Google Earth.
I guess I simply had higher expectations for rides in "my backyard". There are only 6 trips in Colorado. Three are based out of Georgetown and three out of Durango. If you live near these areas I guarantee you probably have already ridden these rides. Looking at other areas I have ridden, (Grand Canyon, S. Utah, etc.), most of the rides are common sense easily inferred my looking at a map or if you subscribe to a magazine like "Road Runner" you probably already have the info.
Again, high quality, but "locals" beware. The "Grand Loop" section is great if you a month+ vacation to tour ALL of the Rockies.

The Rocky Mountains are a statement in diversity and resplendent natural beauty. Combine that with a little Old West, a few ghost towns, some of the world's grandest national parks, and the ultimate in black tarred twisties, and you have the perfect formula for great adventure travel for any motorcycling enthusiast. Written by a seasoned motorcyclist and journalist, this new book details approximately 20 breathtaking trips with easy-to-follow directions, colored topographical maps, photographs, and special tips and information on places to eat, sleep, shop, and pitch a tent. From the Grand Canyon to the great Yellowstone National Park and on into the Canadian Rockies, this is the definitive guide to one of motorcycling's most popular travel destinations.
