If you find yourself in Denver in the Fall while the Aspen leaves are changing colors, don’t miss talking a couple of hours to drive over Guanella Pass!!! This is one of our favorite afternoon drives. We head into the mountains on US285 and drive to the West of Bailey - and go up and over Guanella Pass and then drop back down into Georgetown, and then head back east on I-70 to Denver. Beautiful colors, amazing mountains, and perhaps some wildlife.

This hike is one of Colorado's 14ers, about 14,060 feet. We hiked it in early August, and it was my first 14er. Easy drive to the trailhead. There are two large parking lots, so if the first one you get to is full, just drive a little further down the road (1/4 mile), and you will see another large lot. Both parking lots have restrooms. People also park along the road between the two lots. Wear good hiking boots, bring plenty of snacks or sandwiches, and lots of water. I suggest trekking poles as well. Beautiful views. The trail was extremely easy to follow. Start early! We started at 5:00 am. Only the first mile of this is an easy trail. Then it gets continuously steeper and more rocky. Not easy, and not for children under 8 or 10. We saw very few kids on the trail. According to my Apple Watch, it was 8.5 miles round-trip. Recommended if you are looking for a challenge.

Our drive to Georgetown and the Shoppe International is a Christmas tradition. We have never been disappointed. The quaint shop always has a variety of beautiful Christmas ornaments and decorative holiday items from different cultures. The staff is always friendly. The Georgetown Holiday market is also a real treat!

Perfect stop between Denver and Glenwood Springs. Clean restrooms, coffee, hot cocoa and tea - bravo! Large changing area in men's restroom with diapers you can buy for 4 quarters. When I realized how dry my hands were after two days in the Glenwood Springs area I tried the sampler. True, as a man I am not good about this. But next time through I will pick up a bottle.

Old downtown area with many gift shops and places to eat. Even an old jailhouse for locking folks up for some good pictures. Very friendly shop owners and no pressure to buy anything. A very nice old-time soda fountain is a must stop for a taste.
9. Guanella Pass Brewing
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 13 reviews
At the foot of the Guanella Pass Scenic Byway in Historic Georgetown, CO, sits Guanella Pass Brewery. A true mountain brewery. We believe that where you drink beer is as important as what beer you drink. So leave the grind behind, sit for a bit, and share a story or two. Because here, all you need is what you have and a good beer.

Great little brewery in Georgetown with good beer and they are dog friendly inside and outside. The owner and bartender were both there and very nice. They had a peach wheat that was very good. I also heard they were going to be opening a restaurant next door, so we'll have to try that out when we come back next year.
