This This year (2019) is a actually a special year since they've just released two new books for our home state, Colorado. The fourth edition of both their Colorado and Northern Colorado books, totaling 190 trails, are now available on their site. Along with the new books, they've updated their GPS Data cards for Garmin Devices, AND their iOS app that includes the GPS waypoints and tracks for every trail has been updated.
These new books include the standard spiral binding to make it easy to open and stay on the same trail page. The detailed map on each color-codes each section of the trail, so you know what to expect. The overview, details, rating, and stats for each trail have all be updated. A new feature for this printing is a built-in bookmark flap on the right side, which shows some of the author's favorite trails. This addition makes it easy to keep your place. Also, the new FunTreks Tacoma is on the cover of each book ;)
Another exciting development that FunTreks has recently released are the Tracks & Waypoints for all of their trails on the website. If you're planning a great adventure on any give trail, simply look it up on the site. Each trail page on FunTreks.com includes basic information, the trail rating, length, and expected time to run. Users can provide updates throughout the year for current conditions, and FunTreks includes information to cal for the latest official conditions. You can also find links to preview the guidebook for that trail, right on the trail page.
The best part though, is that you can download the track log and waypoints for each trail right to your computer or device. While our favorite app for off-highway adventure is still Hema Explorer, any app that can handle GPX files will be able to import the data. Combined with the great information for each trail in the guidebook, you'll have everything you need for an amazing off-road or overland adventure.
For those heading to FJ Summit in a few weeks, the Colorado Guide book is your best bet. Guidebooks can be found in many locations around Colorado, or you can order directly from FunTreks.com for fast, inexpensive shipping. Combining guidebooks and data cards can also save you money.
