Guanella Pass, near Georgetown

We drove up to Guanella Pass recently to see some Fall colors. Guanella Pass is actually near Georgetown.

Kenosha Pass

This past weekend, we went to Kenosha Pass to see the Fall colors. As expected, it was pretty crowded with many cars parked on the roadside. Traffic was quite slow going there but it was worth the drive even though it took slightly more than 2 hours. The scenery there is just gorgeous.

On the way back, we saw even more cars coming up - miles and miles of them. And we thought we were late coming up but I guess there are people who are later than us.

Kenosha Pass, elevation 10,000 ft (3,000 m), is a high mountain pass located in the Rocky Mountains of central Colorado.

The pass is located in the Rocky Mountains southwest of Denver, Colorado, just northeast of the town of Fairplay, Colorado. Geologically, the pass is located atop a large granite batholith (known as the Kenosha Batholith) that forms the spine of the Front Range along the eastern side of South Park. It is traversed by US 285 between Jefferson and Grant, and provides a route between the valley of the North Fork South Platte River and the headwaters of the South Platte River in South Park. In addition to providing one of the principal access routes to South Park, the pass offers dramatic views of the surrounding Rockies, including the nearby peaks of Mount Evans and Mount Bierstadt.
