SO worth the drive!! This IS Colorado. The mountain goats are almost always visible! And it's the highest paved road in North America. Due to weather, the road is open only during certain months of the year. More

Mountain goats, ptarmigan, tourists and bicycles all in one place! Bring your courage to drive the roads, they'll bring out the acrophobia in you if you've got it. More

Took my Mom from Texas up to top of Mt. Evans for the experience. Can often be crowded but this trip was not too bad,. For those wanting a little less hustle/bustle, suggest Hwy 103 from Evergreen and stop at Juniper Pass before continuing on to Mt. Evans or on to Idaho Springs.
