Description
The climb down the highest paved Road in America, Mt. Evans, encounters a late Summer storm in the Rocky Mountains, Colorado's Front Range.
Mount Evans is a 14,265 feet mountain in the Front Range region of the Rocky Mountains, in Clear Creek County, Colorado. It is one of 54 fourteeners in Colorado, and the closest fourteener to Denver. It is often compared to Pikes Peak � another Front Range fourteener within a short distance of a major city � which it exceeds in elevation by 154 ft.
Colorado's Mount Evans Scenic Byway is the highest paved road in North America. As you would expect, the views up to Mount Evans are breathtaking, with alpine lakes, massive granite walls and stands of twisted, ancient bristlecone pine. Keep your eyes peeled for mountain goats and bighorn sheep. -
