This publication is about Colorado’s landscapes—the landscapes of the nineteenth century as experienced by the explorers/discoverers of one of the great surveys of the West, that of Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden and the landscapes of today as experienced by those who live in and visit the highest state. Landscapes have a context in which they reside and are experienced; they have a language that can be read more naturally than a book. The dialogues that Hayden and his survey participated in with their landscapes and the ones that take place today consist of or can be read only through some specific vocabulary and understanding that vocabulary requires some comprehensive knowledge. Hayden collected the best scientists available to provide the knowledge he needed to read and survey the lands of Colorado.

Take a drive into the literary landscape of Colorado. Meet Kent Haruf's bachelor ranchers in the Eastern Plains, ride the old cattle trails with Larry McMurtry, rail against nuclear weapons with Allen Ginsberg, go drinking at jazz clubs with Jack Kerouac, climb the highest peaks with Isabella Bird and Enos Mills, explore the cave dwellings of Mesa Verde with Willa Cather. Reading Colorado, a high-octane road trip through the diverse literary landscapes of Colorado, highlights the words of native people, the journals of exploration, the stories of early mining and agricultural frontiers, urban tales reflecting the emergence and growth of Denver and the Front Range, and a diverse range of contemporary voices, from the Plains to the Peaks, who invite the reader into their home towns. The travel guide format is perfect for exploring the Centennial state in a hammock strung between pines, on the couch with your feet kicked up by the fire, or by hitting the road with your favorite traveling companion. The guide includes many writers not yet anthologized and others who have become household names, and the place-based focus makes it easy to jump around to the parts of Colorado you're most interested in. It will deepen personal maps and enhance road trips for residents, visitors, and armchair travelers alike.
