Square Top Parking lot is located at the Summit of Guanella Pass Scenic Byway which is approximately 13 miles from Grant and 11 miles from Georgetown.
Through the efforts of many agencies and individuals, Guanella Pass connecting Georgetown off of I-70 to Grant on Highway 285 is now paved the entire distance allowing for greater travel opportunities and a longer season for trips over what is one of the most beautiful roads to travel.
Guanella Pass is 22 miles of scenic driving, filled with a plethora of wildlife while taking you over the 11,669-foot Guanella Pass and getting you to some terrific views of Mt Bierstadt and the trailhead to climb to the summit, picture-perfect leaf peeping in the fall when the aspens turn, and some wonderful camping spots.
Take a day trip and explore the 285 Corridor and Guanella Pass - you won't be disappointed!
