hardMount Guyot
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, thrill-seekers, let me tell you about Mount Guyot in Colorado! This beast of a peak clocks in at a whopping 11,715 feet in southeastern Summit County. Getting to the top? Buckle up! You'll be navigating Forest Road 569, an old mining road that's basically a gnarly mix of gravel, rocks, and serious bumps. This isn't your grandma's Sunday drive; think 4x4 and high clearance are mandatory, and maybe a little prayer. Oh, and heads up – you can usually only get up here from late July to early September, snow makes it impassible much of the year. Once you're there, though, the views of the Continental Divide from this double-peaked beauty are insane. Just a warning: if you don't like heights or steep, muddy roads, this might not be your cup of tea!
