MC Journeys Rocky Mountains5
We took this book with us on a 3 week tour of the rockies. Visited some of the recommended motels and restaurants. Info was great and very accurate. Made the trip much better and easier to plan day to day.

Skip this if you already live in the Rockies2
First let me say the quality of this is first rate, publishing and writing. However, for someone who lives in Denver and the heart of the Rockies I was very disappointed.

Buy this book if 1.) You do NOT live in or near the Rockies. 2.) You are NOT "savvy" reading recreational atlas maps, AAA Guides, or using the Internet or Google Earth.

I guess I simply had higher expectations for rides in "my backyard". There are only 6 trips in Colorado. Three are based out of Georgetown and three out of Durango. If you live near these areas I guarantee you probably have already ridden these rides. Looking at other areas I have ridden, (Grand Canyon, S. Utah, etc.), most of the rides are common sense easily inferred my looking at a map or if you subscribe to a magazine like "Road Runner" you probably already have the info.

Again, high quality, but "locals" beware. The "Grand Loop" section is great if you a month+ vacation to tour ALL of the Rockies.

Very informative5
This book is very informative. It has been a tremendous help in planning my motorcycle trips. Love the pictures.
