Most of our titles are written and field checked by members of the Colorado Mountain Club, who, like you, are outdoor enthusiasts, dedicated to exploring, preserving, and enjoying the natural world.

The CMC has published content related to outdoor recreation for more than a century. One of our most definitive books, Guide to the Colorado Mountains (or simply "Ormes," as it's affectionately known), is the best-selling Colorado guide of all time, with more than 250,000 copies sold to date. It is now in its 10th edition.
