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

I've been up and down Mt. Evans multiple times. If you are a visitor to Colorado in the summer, it's a must do! The lakes and views are stupendous! More

by far the best view in Colorado. and a very interesting drive to the top, the animals were very friendly and weren't bothered by people at all. More

Pretty difficult to find a place you can drive to 14,000 feet above Sea Level. Mt. Evans is "Other Worldly". Make the easy trip. You will see Mountain Goats and Marmots if you are lucky. More

When you go up to the top, you are definitely going to feel like you've had an adventure. Bring an extra layer of clothes. The top is like a chilly moonscape compared to the mile-hi lowlands. (this is closer to 3 miles high). Bring your own food, water and make sure you have enough gas in your car. It's definitely... 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

Check the weather before you go, but this is one of the best scenic drives in the country. Know that it will be significantly colder and windier at the top. If you go on a pleasant day, take the time to take the short hikes available along the way, including the garden. This is one of the few 14'ers in... More

While I would prefer a hike, this is a great place to take those less active, or kids from out of town to experience a 14er. Plenty of great places to stop along the way. More

There are very few mountains that can be "climbed" by car. Don't miss the opportunity to get above 14, 000 feet and see unbelievable views and if you are lucky, a plethora of wildlife. Our first trip we saw mountain goats, bighorn sheep, picas, deer. Our second trip was wildlife-free but the views were still amazing. Take a jacket, even... More
