Geyser Pass - Burro Pass

This trail starts at Geyser Pass and goes up a meadow before a descent through aspen trees and more meadows. At the end of the trail, you will have to turn left onto a dirt road to reach Burro Pass. If you're going in winter, be sure to have good tires or chains to traverse the road, can get packed with snow in winter. Do your homework before heading out, as Grand County plows the road occasionally, but they may close the gates at Loop Road out of safety concerns.
