Rating:
Summary: Someone's finally produced a guide for people who drive SUVs
Review: I'm no hard-core four-wheeler. I just like exploring backroads. I was glad to finally find a sophisticated guide that didn't involve winching, rock-crawling, etc. Good directions and maps.

Summary: The best value by far in Colorado 4WD guides
Review: Motor Trend says: "Author/adventurer Tony Huegel's books are very good indeed. The newest in his series of off-road travel practicums is Colorado Byways. All Byways books offer maps and route information on everything from the easiest country lane tour up to serious off-road treks. There are lots of tips and points of interest, plus names, phone numbers, and Web sites with which to gather even more data. The books are even ringbound, so they lie flat and stay open. Other titles cover the California desert, coast and Sierra Nevada, plus Utah and Idaho--a must for SUV owners."

Summary: The best 4x4 guidebook I've seen yet. It's about time.
Review: My wife and I just recently bought this book (just bought a used Cherokee, too) and have only started using both. But we've found it to be the most relevant to our kind of four-wheeling, which is more sight-seeing than rock crawling, I admit. We'd seen the San Juans before, but never realized there were such incredible places elsewhere. We've especially enjoyed the wild horse preserve drives and the drives into Dinosaur National Monument. Really great stuff. Book seems very well researched, with lots of history, geology, etc. I recommend it highly.
