Georgetown, CO and Guanella Pass

Georgetown claims to be the most beautiful city in Colorado. It's a quaint little city filled with well maintained historic buildings. They are filled with interesting shops and restaurants. The town is set in a valley about 20 miles West of Denver off of I-70 beneath Loveland Pass. (Pictures 1 & 2)


Guanella Pass, on the road from Georgetown to the junction of Hwy 285 and C-470, provides views of several 14,000+ foot mountain peaks (pic 3) and, on this trip, a parade of model-T's (pic 4). In addition, we encountered a herd of Bighorn Sheep, picturesque horse rances, and mountain lakes, and the beautiful Platte river.
