Starting from the historic mining town of Georgetown, the Guanella Pass climb offers you a spectacular journey through dense forests opening into breathtaking high-alpine tundra with views of towering peaks like Mount Bierstadt. You'll ascend approximately 10.5-11 miles, gaining over 3,100ft to reach the lofty 11,669ft summit. Be prepared for a challenging profile: after a steep initial section of 6-7% on average, the gradient eases through the middle before a very tough final 2.3 miles featuring steep switchbacks averaging over 7% with ramps hitting 10-12% or more, made significantly harder by the extreme altitude. The pass is seasonally closed so be sure to check before attempting this climb.

At an elevation of 10,000 feet, Kenosha Pass offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. It is also a trailhead for the Colorado Trail, therefore, you will find a trail register here. If you want to grab a bite or charge your devices, this is a good spot to hitch into the town of Jefferson, which is just 4.3 miles south of here.

Guanella Pass Road is a well-paved mountain road that passes several campgrounds, lakes and is a spectacular place to see leaves in the fall. At the start of the climb there is a small country store that you can refill bottles or grab some snacks.

Just off the winding road, there is space for one or two cars to enjoy the great view towards Georgetown, a former mining town that was founded in 1859 and sits in the valley.

Georgetown Reservoir is a 55-acre reservoir in Clear Creek County. This reservoir is visible from the south side of Interstate 70 and there is a parking area and public restrooms.

Georgetown was founded in 1859 during the Colorado Gold Rush by George and David Griffith, two prospectors from Kentucky. After 1864, gold and silver ore was mined in countless mines around Georgetown. The town was not a mining camp, but a center for the ore miners and prospectors. Today, the town has a really nice atmosphere and you can still take a ride with the old steam train. There is also a very nice brewery at the north end of the town
