Capture the Sunrise from Guanella Pass

Idaho Springs, Colorado

Description

Watch the sunrise from the summit of Guanella Pass in the shadow of Mount Bierstadt.

From I-70, take the Georgetown exit. Following the signs for Guanella Pass through the town. The pass will zigzag up the side of the mountain. Drive until you reach the trailhead for Mount Bierstadt on the left. Park the car and cross the parking lot - there is no trail here, but climb the short hill to get the optimal view for the early morning alpenglow.

The sun will rise above Mt. Bierstadt and cast a golden glow on the surrounding peaks. It is definitely worth the early morning wake-up.

Bierstadt, Evans, and The Sawtooth Loop

Starting from the oddly poorly marked Guanella Pass Trailhead (Google maps directions to Guanella Campground and then drive about two miles past it to the south), the trail heads southeast toward Bierstadt, and much of your route to the first summit is visible from the parking lot. The trail to Bierstadt starts out at just over 11,000 feet and stays nearly flat for the first mile, allowing you...

Thanks to an expansive valley floor, views of the surrounding peaks (including other Front Range 14ers Torre...

Hike to Square Top Lakes

The hike begins by immediately descending a few hundred feet into a small valley. From t...

Silver Dollar Lake Trail

Guanella Pass, which connects the charming and historic town of Georgetown in the north to the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Grant to the south, is a recreational outdoorsman’s dream.
