Geocache Description:

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

This cache is the third 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. 


Cache Information
You will reach this very beautiful spot shortly after the trail starts to get a little bit interesting.  The cache is only a few feet from where you can park.  The trail from here to the Pass is a lot of fun.

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.
