Literary Colorado
In the spirit of Colorado, we venture into literary territory that is wide-ranging and eclectic. It includes poetry etched on rocks, a whimsical library with a view of river-rafting, a university that launches major publishing careers, one of the most celebrated independent bookstores in history, the home of a world leader, a social justice advocate, and a classic car museum. Clearly, the Colorado Author Adventures Trail offers something for just about everyone.

Outside of the Trail
Greeley (northeast of Denver) is off the path of our trail but, for those in the area interested in history writers, we recommend visiting the University of Northern Colorado Library for its vast James Michener collection of original writings. Michener donated these items there because it is where his career began when it was a teachers’ college. Read about it here: unco.edu/library/archives/james_michener_collection. Check out our pages about other James Michener landmarks in New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
The Colorado Author Adventures Trail runs mostly north-south through the western side of the state.
