Mount EvansMount Evans, with an altitude of over 14,000 feet, offers
visitors truly spectacular views from its summit, as well as the
opportunity to see various forms of Rocky Mountain wildlife
(American Elk, mountain goats, marmots, big horn sheep) in their
natural habitats. Just 65 miles (about 100km) from Denver -
including an exhilarating 15 miles on 'America's highest paved
road', the Mount Evans Scenic Byway - Mount Evans is perhaps the
easiest way for visitors to Colorado to get an authentic 'Rocky
Mountain experience'. Mount Evans also offers fishing
opportunities, and hiking and bicycle trails; although it probably
remains an ideal destination for a day-trip, in a car full of your
nearest and dearest. Remember to pack a lunch for the summit, as
the views will keep you up there for hours.
