Beautiful views, however be aware the road towards the top is challenging (narrow, twisty, hard to see if there's traffic coming at you). The good thing is for the most part people were courteous and went slow. I actually prefer Mount Evans to Pikes Peak. The view was well worth the drive (as a passenger), although you couldn't pay me enough to drive up this road myself.

Vehicle traffic is well managed at the gate, views are stunning, hiking trails are available, plenty of big horned sheep to see... I love Mount Evans. I've ridden up this peak from Idaho Springs on my bike twice. Its an awesome experience.

14130 feet above sea level! Fabulous view of landscapes from the top. 'The Castle in the sky', view of Summit Lake. One can have full enjoyment of Mt Evans scenic drive.
