Mt. Evans Scenic Byway Review

Climbing to the summit of Mount Evans (one of Colorado's most beautiful peaks) is the driving force for most people. It is a difficult journey as the whole journey requires walking up the mountain. The views from the top are unforgettable and there are beautiful scenery along the way. You can fully feel the charm of Colorado here.

The road to the top of Mount Evans is said to be the tallest in the United States, but every September the part close to the top of the mountain is closed, and with the possibility of ice, the lane closes at Echo Lake, about 15 miles from the top. So it's a pity not to see the rock sheep on the top of Mount Evans.

I came here mainly to see Mount Evans. The bike road to the top of the hill, which is said to be the highest bike road in the United States, is partially closed every September because it may freeze. Echo Lake is beautiful!

Some small recommendations for the highest driving lane in the United States - Mount Evans Scenic Mountain Road: 1. This is the most beautiful natural private car lane must be self-driving tour! There are also some tourists who use drones to take pictures of the natural beauty of the mountain road! Along the way, you can see the scenery on the side of the mountain on the trail, directly to the top of Mount Evans! And there is a super beautiful small lake on the road. It is a super quiet small lake, we bought some snacks and sat by the lake and enjoyed the scenery for a while. After resting we continued on our way up, and at the corner of some mountain roads we saw flocks of goats and groundhogs, who were not afraid of people at all, and we did not disturb them, and at that moment I suddenly felt that man and nature were one. Finally reached the top of the mountain, I felt that the whole world was brighter. I reached out as if I could touch the white clouds and overlook the entire mountain road. Everything below was so small in my eyes. I could also look at the mountains in the distance with a little snow. 2. There is also a lookout station here. If you are tired from driving, You can see the scenery below on the observation deck, take pictures, and see the wild flowers and weeds growing on both sides of the road. The best photo spot: the top of the mountain must be the best photo location, whether it is a beautiful scenery or a selfie, it is suitable! ! ! Huiyin Lake is also a very suitable place to take pictures, because there are few people and quiet ...... some small tips: 1. The altitude here is very high, so there will be some altitude sickness. You have to buy medicine before you go. If you feel uncomfortable, you have to turn around immediately. 2. There is no guardrail on this mountain road! ! A bit narrow! So be sure to pay attention to safety! Old driver driving is better 3. Evans Mountain Road does not need money, but you need more than 10 knives to drive up to Evans Mountain Park. It is recommended to play time: 2-3 hours
