Georgia Pass originates just outside of the tiny town of Jefferson, CO off of Hwy 285 in Colorado. What begins as pavement quickly turns to dirt and gradually climbs towards the top of the pass with rocks and more difficult terrain becoming the norm. While not super intense it will take newer dirt riders some time to adjust, definitely an intermediate road that only dirt capable bikes (Adventure, etc) should attempt. Once at the top amazing views of the valley and surrounding mountains await, definitely a fantastic little road to take.

The most notable landmarks in the community are a historic one-room schoolhouse and the Historic Jefferson Denver, South Park and Pacific Railroad (DSP&P RR)Depot (c. 1880), highly visible in the surrounding grasslands of South Park.
