Summary

"Amazingly easy to use. Very portable, very complete." - Booklist You'll never fall into the tourist traps when you travel with Frommer's. It's like having a friend show you around, taking you to the places locals like best. Our expert authors have already gone everywhere you might go--they've done the legwork for you, and they're not afraid to tell it like it is, saving you time and money. No other series offers candid reviews of so many hotels and restaurants in all price ranges. Every Frommer's Travel Guide is up-to-date, with exact prices for everything, dozens of color maps, and exciting coverage of sports, shopping, and nightlife. You'd be lost without us! Meticulously researched by an experienced husband-and-wife team, this in-depth guide is much more detailed and comprehensive than its major competitors. Let Frommer's take you to all the highlights of this gorgeous corner of the American West: the world-class ski slopes at Vail and Aspen, the majestic peaks of the Rockies, the haunting ruins of Anasazi cliff dwellings, old-fashioned steam-train trips, film and music festivals, guest ranches, ghost towns, and more. Our authors have personally inspected all the accommodations they recommend, and they've selected choices for every taste and budget. They've put all the information at your fingertips so you can enjoy the great outdoors: spectacular drives, easy day hikes, wildflowers in bloom, scenic campsites, mountain-biking trails, and river rafting. There's a wealth of detail that takes the hassle out of trip planning. You'll even get a free color fold-out map!
