Format: Paperback
Just started reading this book for a planned summer ride along the northern part of the route. We went to a slide show by 2 riders and they said that using this book and with the detailed maps that you should also have, made the ride very straight forward. Many of the routes sign posted have been destroyed by gun owners and the distance to way points mentioned in the book were accurate. He also gives many pointers on equipment and supplies for beginners who are thinking of doing the route. ... show more

This is a very informative account of the directions, encounters, and general interesting information about the Great Divide route. We are parents of a bicycler that is traversing this trail at the present. We have been able to follow the route using the maps, get an idea of what he will be seeing, and learning interesting information. We highly recommend it from a parent's perspective. ... show more

    • Good read
Format: Kindle
Very complete with details about the route. My only complaint is it lists the highest point in elevation as a pass in CO that the locals have never heard about. I ought to know - I am a local in the area of the pass.
