Looking east toward Denver from Guanella Pass road. It stretches 22 miles from Georgetown, Colorado to U.S.Highway 285 and ascends to over 11,000 feet
Guanella Pass is directly above Georgetown , Colorado, which is about forty-five miles west of Denver.
Guanella Pass Road goes past the Xcel Energy Hydro Power station and the mountain lake which feeds the station (above). This half-way paved road is what real Colorado looks like.
