On Interstate 70, Georgetown Lake is a 55-acre reservoir located next to the city of the same name. Georgetown Lake is a popular stop for easy fishing access all year round. The dam that was built to create the reservoir (Georgetown Lake) is also a hydroelectric power plant, which is still in use today. The Lake is well stocked with rainbow trout all year round. The historic town of Georgetown is one of the best preserved Victorian communities in the state.
Colorado has 26 official Scenic and Historic Byways, which are roads so interesting that they’re destinations, in and of themselves. One of the best scenic byways to explore is Colorado’s Guanella Pass (elevation 11,669 ft or 3,557 m) and located in central Colorado, in the Rocky Mountains. The Guanella Pass provides views of Mount Bierstadt, one of Colorado’s famous 58 ‘fourteeners’ (mountain peaks exceeding 14,000 feet above sea level). We happened upon a motorbike accident in the pass and waited for an ambulance to arrive for the unfortunate biker.
