Hundreds of miles of jeep roads, good access, unique terrain and beautiful scenery make the Uncompahgre Plateau of Western Colorado an ideal all-terrain bicycle locale. The plateau is strategically located between the biking "hot spots" of the Colorado Rockies and the canyon country of Utah. Bicycling the Uncompahgre Plateau details backcountry access road information, recounts the Uncompahgre's history and unequaled environment, and describes twenty bikeable trails on the plateau.

This book will be useful to mountain bikers who live in Western Colorado, and will serve the many intrepid, intermountain travelers who venture off the beaten track.

The guide “ Bicycling the Uncompahgre Plateau” does provide entry-level information about the plateau’s trails, but doesn’t give a lot of specifics. The book’s lack of specificity was intentional - to encourage riders to do the necessary logistic research to successfully find their way.
