Glacier Peak via Georgia Pass
Wed, Jun 17, 2026

RMOTHG Trip – Glacier Peak via Georgia Pass

This 6 mile / 1500 ft elevation-gain hike to Glacier Peak starts from the top of Georgia Pass (11,598'). Considered relatively mellow, this all-above-treeline route includes sections of 4wd road, the Colorado Trail, and off-trail tundra hiking. We should experience an abundance of wildflowers and spectacular views in all directions. Anticipated time to complete: 4 hours.

Staunton State Park

Hiking – Staunton State Park

We'll go to 3 overlooks-including Eagle Cliffs @ 9,800'. From the Lazy V parking lot, we'll connect to the Old Mill trail and take it to the Mason Creek trail. The MC trail will take us to the Bear Paw trail, and we'll take the BP trail to the three scenic overlooks. Then we will reconnect with the Mason Creek trail and go back the way we came - for around 8 miles and 1,350 ft elevation gain.

Are you ready to hike a 14er?

Climbing a Colorado 14er is an inspiring goal, and one that starts with an honest self-assessment. Through the Summit 2026 project, we are helping more people experience Colorado’s peaks safely. The first step? Understanding where you are today, so you can choose a route that sets you up for success. This guide is based on the same self-screening questions we use to help participants prepare for high-altitude hikes.
