Author Heather Mundt has written a new guide to encourage people of all ages to get outdoors. She spoke with KGNU's Shannon Young about "Colorado Family Outdoor Adventure: An All-Ages Guide to Hiking, Camping and Getting Outside."
The book explores all areas of the state and grades activities in terms of difficulty and age-appropriateness, so readers will know which activities are suitable for young kids, teens and older relatives.
Mundt’s list of 10 Colorado Kids’ Rites of Passage are:
- Children’s Museum
- Mesa Verde
- Four Corners
- State Capitol
- Water World
- Red Rocks
- Denver Mint
- Air Force Academy
- Casa Bonita
- Coors Field
