\nGeneva Mountain
\n3752 m \/ 12335 ft
\nOct 19, 2014 First Activation<\/p>\n

By KX0R<\/p>\n

Activating Geneva Mountain<\/a> for the first time was one my SOTA<\/a> high points for 2014. Although it\u2019s relatively high and exposed, I had the good fortune to climb it during a period of Indian Summer, on a calm, sunny day. I was up there for hours, and I had it all to myself.<\/p>\n

Geneva Summit and Two Sub-peaks<\/p><\/div>\n

To reach the trailhead, drive up I-70 to Georgetown<\/a>, exit, and follow the signs to Guanella Pass<\/a>. A fine paved highway leads steeply up to the Pass. This high road may not be open at all times due to winter conditions \u2013 check in advance if in doubt. On busy weekends in good weather, the available parking may get filled \u2013 get up there really early. Park near the road crest and find the well-marked Rosalie Trail # 603<\/a> that leads south from the parking area into the Mount Evans Wilderness<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From the trail-head, contour east around a small summit for about a mile, until the trail splits at a sign; don\u2019t follow Rosalie Trail 603 down toward Scott Gomer Creek, but take the right (west) path along an old closed road.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
