Notch Trail

The Notch Trail, located in the foothills just outside Georgetown, is a fantastic singletrack downhill that can easily be added onto a day trip to Argentine Pass for some exhilarating fun before hitting the road.

The Notch Trail can be car shuttled, cutting out all of the uphill on dirt roadway, or ridden as a loop. The downhill of the Notch Trail is super smooth and well maintained, allowing riders to make a fast, ripping descent of the trail. Riders looking for a bit of an aerobic workout will ride up the same dirt roadway that car shuttles take. It is not suggested for riders to try to ride uphill on the Notch Trail proper due to chance for collision.

While riding any trail system it is a great idea to include a repair kit and first aid kit. The Notch Trail is multi-use and hikers may be seen along the way. Please be considerate on the trails and understand right of way protocol.

From I-70 W take the Silver Plume Exit. Get on Guanella Pass Road and take a right hand turn on Waldorf Road. Travel for about 2 miles. The road has a switchback section. Count the switchbacks. On the 5th switchback is the trailhead. Riders wanting to eliminate the shuttle can ride from town up Guanella Pass Road and follow the same directions.
