The roadless hike descriptions are intended for non-technical hikers and include photos, topographic maps, trail highlights, and wildlife viewing tips. The introduction provides helpful background about search and rescue, Leave No Trace ethics, and hiker preparedness, as well as information on how Colorado's roadless forests can be better protected. Hiking Colorado's Roadless Trails offers an overview of the ecology of Colorado's forests and why undisturbed forests also are crucial for the future of human communities.
