Georgia Pass
Georgia Pass isn't very well marked. You get there by turning North at Jefferson, Colorado. Go about two miles to where the paved road ends. The signs steer the city slickers to Jefferson Lake and entry-level tree-hugger campsites to the right. You just keep straight on. About a mile on the right you'll see a sign for the Georgia Pass Ranch. Turn right . Then, it's about nine miles to the top of Georgia Pass. It's basically a gravel road that you should be able to drive a rental car up without any problem.
Going down(North) from Georgia Pass, you have a couple of options. You can hit the South Fork or the Middle Fork of the Swan River. Be forewarned, however, if you go down to the Middle Fork of the Swan River, you have to go down "S.O.B. Hill", also known as the "Rocker Knocker". This is an advanced expert-only 4wd trail. If you don't know where your differentials are, S.O.B. Hill will feed them to you.
