About the Author
Susan Joy Paul has hiked, climbed, snowshoed, rappelled - and when the winds above 14,000 feet were screaming - crawled across the state of Colorado, reaching the summits of more than 700 mountains along the way and more than 1,000 with repeats. She has climbed all the 14ers in the state, reached the highpoints of every Colorado county, and was the first woman to summit every ranked peak in El Paso and Teller Counties. Susan has also summited high peaks outside Colorado via routes such as the Mountaineer's Route on Mount Whitney, the East Arête on Mount Russell, the Emmons Glacier on Mount Rainier, the Gooseneck Glacier on Gannett Peak, the Jamapa Glacier on Pico de Orizaba, and the Ayoloco Glacier on Iztaccihuatl - and has climbed to over 20,000 feet via the Whymper Route to reach the Ventimilla sub-summit of Chimborazo in Ecuador.In her first book, "Touring Colorado Hot Springs," Susan guides you to the state's 32 top hot springs. In her second book, "Hiking Waterfalls in Colorado," she hits the trail, visiting 150 of the state's waterfalls. For her third book, "Climbing Colorado's Mountains," Susan returns to her first love: the peaks of the state, with a compilation of route descriptions, maps, and photographs of 100 Colorado peak adventures. Susan's fourth book "Touring Colorado Hot Springs, 3rd" revisits the springs from her first book and discovers new ones, guiding you to 45 soaking spots across the state. Finally, her fifth book "Woman in the Wild" shares the skills she developed over decades of hiking, climbing, and camping, exploring the backcountry safely and independently. When she's not exploring the state or writing guidebooks, Susan is a sought-after ghostwriter. Her 50 nonfiction books have been published via Indie publishers, self-publishers, and major publishing houses among the Big Five, and have appeared on the Wall Street Journal bestseller's list.Susan lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
