The Friends of the Pikes Peak Library District will inaugurate a new series of program, Meet the Author. Our first author, Stewart Green, has written nearly 50 books on rock climbing, hiking, and scenic byways all over the West, particularly in Colorado. He has written since 1977, and his newest book is Hiking Colorado's Hidden Gems, from Falcon Press.

His talk about fall color drives will include recommendations on the best regional routes to consider for leaf-peeping this autumn, as well as to discuss some of the landmarks and historic features along the way.
