“The most complete and up-to-date resource for Sandia Mountain hikers."—New Mexico Magazine
“Arguably nobody knows the hiking trails of the Sandia Mountains better than Coltrin—and he’s written a book to prove it.”—Gary Herron, Rio Rancho Observer
“For those planning to visit this area and hike the Sandias, this is a must-have guide.”—Robert E. Hoopes, Wildlife Activist
“Ever the scientist, Coltrin kept a hiking diary, logging the trails he completed and the highlights he observed. That paved the way for his book—a compendium of sixty trails, including eight to ten new or revised routes in the second edition.”—Albuquerque the Magazine
“Mike Coltrin supplies lots of bells and whistles, including a color foldout map, black-and-white topographical maps, color photos, and background on geology, geography, history, and climate. But more importantly, he supplies the essentials. . . . For him, hiking clearly is as much avocation as vocation.”—Wally Gordon, The Independent (Edgewood, New Mexico)
