Front Range Panorama

Publication Year: 1963.

Front Range Panorama, edited by Louisa W. Arps and published by the Colorado Mountain Club. Price $3.75.

The Panorama consists of a cardboard folder 12” x 9" which opens like a double record album to reveal two pockets. In the left pocket is one long folded map (16" x 33") of the visible mountains west of Denver; the map is marked off into seven sections, and includes an index of place-names. The map is laid out as though the mountains are being viewed from the roof of the Denver Museum of Natural History in City Park. In the right-hand pocket are seven individual maps (each 8" x 33"), one for each of the sections indicated on the master map. Each is drawn in detail and contains descriptive and historical information about the specific group being described; all seven taken together will help identify mountains from Pikes Peak and the Rampart Range in the south to Longs Peak and the Mummy Range in the north. The Panorama is well and thoroughly done, and will be of especial interest to those people frequently visiting or living in the Denver area.
