Mount Guyot

The road to the summit, located in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains of North America, is gravel, rocky, tippy and bumpy at times. It’s an old mine road called Forest Road 569. Named after Arnold (Henri) Guyot (1807-1874) a famous geologist from Switzerland, the road to the summit is impassable from September to July. Great trail for experienced wheelers. Avoid driving in this area if unpaved mountain roads aren't your strong point. 4wd and high clearance vehicle recommended. Stay away if you're scared of heights. Expect a trail pretty steep. Wet conditions may make for tough driving along the muddy road. Mt. Guyot is an iconic peak with its double-promontory ridgeline on the Continental Divide.
