Great views -- eats up most part of a day. Takes a few hours from Denver.

We went to Mount Evans the day after they opened the road for this season. For $10, we got access to the top and the interpretive stations along the way. The drive was a real cliffhanger. We definitely could feel the altitude as we went up. But the incomparable views, and the exhilaration of the experience, made the somewhat scary... More

Drive to the top of this 14'er with virtually guaranteed look at wildlife. Bring your coat and hat. Believe me!

Took the trek up to Mt Evans, and was disappointed to see that the Mt. Evans road was closed, so we weren't able to make it to the top. A friendly biker stopped and told us that the road is only open from Memorial Day - Labor Day. But - aside from that, the drive up to Mt. Evans road... More

However, you don't have to go to the top to enjoy fabulous views, amazing plants and trees, lots of animals and beautifullakes. Lots of turn... More
