Georgia Pass Trail
Jefferson, CO
Georgia Pass Trail
Hike in a southeasterly direction across the tundra. At 1 mile, cross the North Jefferson Trail that goes off to the left (northeast). In another 0.5 mile look for stunted trees bent by prevailing winds. Beyond these trees lies timberline and the trail enters a spruce forest. From here on down, the trail is continuously forested and the ground is often spongy, a pleasant relief for your dog. Since the Colorado Trail is open to bikers in this area, keep a sharp lookout for them and keep your dog at your side to avoid trail mishaps. Descend on several switchbacks the southeast side of the broad, forested ridge. Pass several small clearings along the way that bloom well into the season with yellow arnica, a star-shaped wildflower with heartshapedleaves.
