Bernie’s Colorado Journeys has been traveling around Colorado for a while now and along with seeing wonderful scenery I’m also interested in history.
Up till now I’ve been using two dated, but not outdated travel books; one is the 1940 Colorado – A Guide to the Highest State and the second is the 1938 Colorado Travelore, A Pocket Guide, Romance of its Trails, Railroads, Highways, and Airways. I like these two books because they were written before the interstate highway system bypassed many of towns that today still have a great story. Because the books are 75+ years old the principle authors are no longer around to interview for their backstories.
A while back I came across a fresh travel book that really caught my interest. The complete guide to motorcycling Colorado: the definitive reference for all the best roads, rides, and tips by Steve Farson, who is very much alive. Now, even if you drive four wheels and have air conditioning please continue to listen. Just because you are seeing the world thru your windshield the information in this motorcycle guidebook can still be used and enjoyed by you.
