A treasure trove of useful (and just plainfun) information about Colorado’s mountain country. A handy-dandy, comprehensive, wide-ranging reference guide to settling (good-naturedly) any arguments about Colorado’s high country. We’re not just talking about population figures, elevation stats, or lists of Fourteeners and rivers, although these are included. You will learn far more including mountain lexicons (so that you’ll know what a gutter bunny, potato chip, and prune really mean), Colorado as a movie set, Colorado songs, skiing, fishing, avalanches, geology, historic districts, hiking and biking, snakes, Superfund sites, strange festivals, weather miserability index, and much more.

Reviews for The Colorado Mountain Companion: A Potpourri of Useful Miscellany from the Highest Parts of the Highest State

With his signature wit and inimitable style, Fayhee lays out a wealth of information about Colorado in this wonderfully readable pocket guide...an essential text for those who'd like to dig a little deeper into what it means to be a Coloradan--and what our state is all about. --Alex Miller, managing editor, Summit Daily News
