2013賞白楊木 (aspen)之旅--Guanella Pass

Viewpoint, Guanella Pass, Colorado 3
Guanella Pass Scenic Byway北從I-70號州際公路旁的喬治城(Georgetown，在丹佛西邊約45哩)，南至US 285公路的小鎮Grant，全長約22哩，是早期連接 Georgetown和 Grant兩個產礦小鎮的道路，這兩個小鎮在1860年代是有名的銀礦產地。Georgetown目前已發展為觀光小鎮，這兒有礦業博物館，有蒸氣小火車穿行在山腰載觀光客去參觀古礦坑(此火車類似阿里山高山火車)。每年的九月中旬，這條景觀道路是一處觀賞白楊樹(Aspen)樹葉變色的絕佳景點，滿山滿谷金黃閃爍的Aspen往往給遊客一個震撼。

這條景觀道路的最高點海拔11669呎(3557公尺)，距北方的Georgetown約10哩，距南方的Grant約12哩；此地有上、下兩個蠻大的停車場，並有廁所設置，停車場邊登山口非常熱門，下停車場往東可登兩座14ers-Mt. Bierstadt和Mt. Evans；上停車場往西可登Square Top Mountain ，就是不想登山，這兒的風景也是很美的。目前由Georgetown到道路最高點是已鋪設良好路面的道路，沿途有幾個湖泊和露營區，若時間許可，沿著小路可更深入一些高山湖。由道路最高點南下快接近Grant有一部份僅是石子路，此南段山路較為陡峭彎曲，但會經過一些大草原，風景蠻美的。
今年為了觀賞白楊木我共走了三趟此景觀道路，葉子從青黃不接到金黃、進而枯落，前後約十天左右；昨日一場雪我想葉子該已落盡了吧！
