Access: Take I-70 west to exit 228 in Georgetown and follow the signs to Guanella Pass Road (CR 381). Climb up Guanella Pass for about 3.5 miles. At this point, turn right at the corner of a sharp curve onto a dirt road (CR 352/FR 248), this is Waldorf Road. At this point the road splits into two roads that meet back up at the top. The left branch runs along the bottom of the valley and along the creek. This is a moderate trail with some very rocky sections and a couple of deep stream crossings. Near Waldorf, it meets back up with the main trail. The main trail is basic dirt road that runs along the ridge above the valley. There are some ruts to cross and the occaional rock but there is no point where four wheel drive is required, heck my dad has done this route in his Ford Taurus. Once the two reconnect the upper part of the trail follows the old Argentine Central Railroad. The trail ends at the top (the Montezuma side is only good for hiking) so you have to backtrack and make your way back down the way you came up.




Trail: Argentine Pass/Waldorf Road is one of Colorado's historic trails. Beautiful views and prime hiking potential at the summit makes this an easy day trip from Denver and a great time for the family. The town of Waldorf was a mining and milling camp around 1910. When the ore stopped, the town simply died. The mines are privately owned so please respect the owner's property. - Tiffster
