Colorado Scenic Byways: Taking the Other Road Susan Tweit
Colorado Scenic Byways: Taking the Other Road Written by Susan Tweit Colorado Scenic Byways: Taking the Other Road, photographs by Steamboat Springs photographer Jim Steinberg, text by Susan J. Tweit. A two-volume, slipcased set explores the sights and stories of the state's 25 scenic byways from the wide-open plains to the nosebleed heights of the high peaks and the technicolor canyons of the plateau country. It's an invitation to take to the road and see the real Colorado--taste a peach ripe off the tree, smell the prairie in spring, hear the marmots whistle from alpine ridges, and watch the stars wink on in the evening sky. One volume is a coffee table book with photos and essays that capture the soul of each byway, the other is an atlas & road guide detailing places to see and stay along each byway, plus maps, photography tips and more.
Colorado Governor Bill Ritter and his wife Jeannie chose Colorado Scenic Byways: Taking the Other Road, as their personal gift to selected attendees of the Democratic National Convention, including the 30 Democratic governors attending from other states, and President Bill & Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator & Mrs. Barack Obama.
