Guanella Pass - Arapaho National Forest, Colorado

There is a fine hiking trail in the neighborhood of Guanella Pass called the Argentine Trail, and a splendid spot like Arapaho National Forest is too brilliant to leave out. Going for a hike on the Chicago Lakes Trail is always a great adventure.
If you adore the outdoors, you won’t be let down; there's swimming, fishing, hiking, and whitewater paddling, so probably you want to stick around for a while.
