Guanella Pass Trailhead
Guanella Pass Trailhead is a gateway to high-alpine Colorado scenery—start with wide landscapes of rolling tundra, then progress to dramatic peaks and storm-lit skies. Best light arrives early morning and late afternoon; weekday starts keep crowds low. A snowy/icy access road can close seasonally—check CDOT before driving. Free parking is typically available at trailhead lots.
