Mount Guyot Overview The summit of Mount Guyot resides directly
on the Rocky Mountain Continental Divide only ¾ mile west of the
historic Georgia Pass. Named after Arnold (Henri) Guyot
(1807-1874) a famous geologist from Switzerland, Mount Guyot
(pronounced gui-oat) is the centerpiece of the Front Range’s
southwest region. The southwest region begins east at Argentine
Pass and reaches west to Hoosier Pass, thus representing the
very last and final summits and valleys of Colorado’s great
Front Range. Mount Guyot’s classic pyramid shape meshes well
with other vicinity peaks like Whale Peak, Bald Mountain, and
Square Top Mountain. I get the feeling that after I post this
mountain on SP, some will say, “I know that mountain!” Every day
hundreds of people view this mountain from Co. Hwy 285, but only
the dedicated mountain addict knows its name and even less will
ever touch its summit. While descending the scenic Kenosha Pass
just east of the South Park region, Mount Guyot flaunts a
beautiful pyramid-like symmetry
