Started this morning at 7:45 for a drive up Mount Blue Sky (formerly Mt Evans), elevation 14130 at summit. Drive from home to the Mt. Goliath Natural Area (part of the Mt Blue Sky recreation area. Just kept climbing - the next few thousand feet of altitude gain offer expansive sites with views that just won't quit. Our stop at Summit Lake was shorter than planned as the main area was closed due to a medical emergenc, but we were able to snap some photos from a roadside stop next to the 13000' alpine lake. I spotted my first Marmot, and started seeing the goats. On our way back down we took a quick stop at Echo Lake for some leg stretching and gazing up at the beautiful high country we had just been in. Beautiful drive with gorgeous scenery.
Join us on a magnificent day trip to Mount Blue Sky (formally Mount Evans) tour from Denver. Located only 60 miles west of Denver, The Summit is accessible by the highest paved road in North America. Standing at 14,271 feet, it is considered one of the most prominent mountains in the front range of the Rocky Mountains. See rocky mountain bighorn sheep, mountain goats, marmots, birds and alpine wildflowers, all the while taking in the spectacular views of distant mountain peaks, alpine lakes and glacier valley.
