Guardsman Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Guardsman Pass is a tough but unforgettable climb—steep grades, tight switchbacks, and big elevation gain. The views from the top, at nearly 9,700 feet, are worth every pedal stroke. Expect light traffic on weekdays and smooth pavement for a fast, fun descent.
