RM Off Road Series (ORS) #3: Georgia Pass

This cache is the fifth of seven in my #3 series of off-road caches located along fun/beautiful north-south route that goes over Georgia Pass. This route runs for about 23 miles (21 miles dirt) from Hwy 9 just north of Breckenridge to Hwy 285 on the south.

Trail Information

Rating/Description
This trail is rated moderate because of a couple of rough/steep miles of trail you will encounter just north of the pass. Most of the trail is easy, particularly on the south side of the pass. The trail can be done in most 4wd SUV type vehicles. I left my Jeep at home for this trip and instead did it in my 4wd Toyota Tacoma and made it easily. This was really a fun/beautiful trail with none of the edgy shelf road type stuff that makes Mrs. RocketMan nervous (Too bad because I did this trip by myself). Disclaimer: You need to decide for yourself if it is safe to make the trip in your vehicle.

Winter Months
The trail becomes 4wd impassable in the winter months. I believe it is open to snowmobiles.

Time/Distance
The entire trail (dirt portion) is approximately 21 miles and should take about 2 to 3 hours driving time. You will also need to include time for finding the caches, exploring, sight seeing, lunch, etc.

Trail Waypoints
See waypoint list on the Moose Meadow cache for the trail waypoints.

Spent a week out in Denver with friends. The main event was Geowoodstock 14 of course, but while we were in town we enjoyed local sights, great food and brews, and of course the best caches the city has to offer. Day three took shadowgal and me away from our NC traveling companions and down to Breckenridge to meet up with Team Red Rubicon and Moose Mob for a 4WD ride over the Georgia Pass. Lots of laughs, a few bumps, and some great scenery were on the menu for today.
