Mt. Bierstadt is just west of Mt. Evans and access is recommended from the Guanella Pass side. Mt. Bierstadt has an elevation of 14,060 feet. How to get there: Guanella Pass Road can be accessed from either Georgetown on I-70 or from Grant on US 285. Drive to the top of Guanella Pass and park your vehicle on the east side, noted on the map as (P)3. Mt. Bierstadt is located southeast of where you park and has a rounded summit along with a jagged sawtoothed ridge to its north. You will know when you have reached the summit in that you will find Colorado Mt. Club sign-in sheets located in a sealed PVC tube. Have each individual in your group sign it. The trail: To access the mountain there are obstacles to avoid, marshland and the famous Guanella Pass willows. There are several trails through the willows. Try to stay to the north side as you make your way up, it\'s drier and there is a better trail through this side of the willows. After you make your way through the willows the two miles to the summit is up grassy ridges and small boulder fields. This climb is easily accomplished without equipment. Notes: No water is available on Mt. Bierstadt. Take your windbreaker, extra water, and energy food. The best access is in the months from July to September.
