Welcome to Issue 14.1
As Freehub enters its 14th year of coffee-table magazine publishing, we’re proud to present this special Colorado Photo Book—a visual field guide to one of the planet’s greatest places to ride a mountain bike. The massive state of Colorado, choked with the most mountainous terrain of the Lower 48, boasts more world-class riding than anywhere in the world apart from, arguably, British Columbia. This lovingly curated issue is a photographic tribute to the vast and diverse swathe of tectonic uplift known as The Centennial State, highlighting its marquee mountain communities through extensive photo galleries and in-depth stories designed to prepare you for your next road trip. From the crown jewels of the Gunnison Valley and storied trail networks in the San Juan Mountains, to the high-desert delights of the Grand Valley and alpine gems surrounding Summit County, we honor the must-ride destinations of a state with an endless bounty of singletrack treasures. Open a copy of Issue 14.1 and start planning your own Colorado adventures.
