Don Koch divides this book into geographic areas corresponding to Colorado's major mountain ranges. Each section outlines mountain passes within that section. Each of these passes are independantly revieved. Their locations, starting points, points of interest, difficulty, scenic interest and historic interest are given. He goes on to describe in detail for each pass his personal experiences on that pass and what you can expect. Also, he gives important hints about what to look out for and particular safety precautions for each particular pass as well as the side trails which spur off. I use this book as a reference manual on and off the trails and suggest anyone heading to the Colorado Rockys to buy this book. Many passes can be traversed via car/light truck and some require 4 wheel drive. This book will let you know which ones.
