There were many different pamphlets and brochures issued by the C&S, with varying appearance and purpose. Here are a few that I have collected. Each of these has many more pages that what I've posted.
This one is more of a working pamphlet from 1903 for people who are ready to plan their travel. It covers the whole C&S system as well as affiliated and some connecting lines. Content includes maps, timetables, fare information (including for corpses). Most information is for standard gauge, but there's plenty on the narrow gauge. It folds to about 4"x9".
I have two versions of this one, neither of which is dated. Both refer to excursions on the Denver, Boulder & Western, so probably from the 1910s. The cover of the other one has green background instead of purple, and there are differences in the text and typography, but the photos are the same. This one lists T. E. Fisher as the General Passenger Agent, while the green one shows H. A. Johnson as General Freight and Passenger Agent, which may help to date it if anyone wants to do some research. From some printing codes, this one may be from 1914 and the green one from 1915. This one folds to 4"x9".
This 1907 guide is smaller (3-1/4"x6" pocket size), and provides information on hotels at popular destinations, issued by the C&S General Passenger Agent. A lot of the destinations are on the narrow gauge, but some are reached from standard gauge. It has quick summaries of available lodging in different locations, arranged alphabetically. It's 48 pages (plus cover) are primarily these listings, but also include a map and the general information shown in the second scan.
This Loop Trip brochure shows up frequently on eBay, and I'm sure it was published for many years. This one is probably from the late teens (based on the photo of an Argentine & Grays Peak motor car). Most pages are just photos, but there is the information shown in the second scan below, and a page of points of interest. It folds to about 4"x9".
This appears to be issued specifically for a convention of the Knights Templar in 1913. It's 4"x9" and probably based on a more general C&S brochure with the Knights Templar information added.

I have the same pamphlet marked EDITION OF 1905. It looks pretty much the same as your 1903 version.
