Very scenic drive a short distance from Denver. Easily 15 degrees cooler than Denver so bring appropriate clothing and be prepared for afternoon storms. Great bike ride that will challenge your lungs. Go early to avoid the afternoon tourist crowds.

This is an amazing drive and it is so beautiful. If you are driving all the way to the top, make sure you bring water and dress warm. When we went the weather in Denver was in the 70s and at the top of Mt Evans with 50 mph winds it felt like it was in the teens. Drive safe... More

This was a nice time driving up the mountain. The views were incredible and there are some hikes that even a beginner can take. Rememberyou are at altitude and this can zap you strength quickly, so expect to go half the distance you normally hike unless you are acclaimated to the altitude.

On a Sunday afternoon my husband and I drove to the top of Mount Evans. We had a blast. Echo Lake was awesome. Recommend driving up from the Evergreen side. The views are breathtaking. The scenery changes quickly as the altitude changes. I especially loved the bristle cone pine trees. A word of warning...it's cold and windy at the top!

Love the view and the restaurant is always pretty good. I loved seeing the clouds inside of the mountains! Make sure to bring your jacket and camera!

Mount Evans road is such a great experience...from Echo lake at the entrance to the park, to the site at the top. Bring warm clothes, even during the summer,and plenty of sunscreen! If you have time, come up from the Evergreen side, it's a nice mountain drive...especially if you,re driving a high performance car or motorcycle :) Its a good... More

You have a paved road (unlike pikes peak) all the way to the parking area just 100 feet below the summit. Fantastic views all the way. Be sure to stop and see the very old trees near tree line. Summit lake is a great short hike as well.

This road goes over squaw pass and past the turn off to Mt Evans. Incredible drive even better bicycle ride.

This is my favorite Colorado drive. Relatives from out of town who want to see the mountains receive this tour. Bring a picnic for Echo Lake at the base of this majestic fourteen footer. If your up for an adventure, take the drive to the summit. Watch out for Big Horn Sheep or even a snow shower in July!
