Mt. Evans

Just when I thought the scenery and amazing drives couldn’t get any better, I go and visit Mt. Evans today and dude.  Seriously.  Absolutely incredible.  I feel like I use that word a lot but I don’t care.

Mt. Evans is worth the trip.  It’s about a 14 mile drive up a treacherous road with switchbacks and no guardrails but it’s worth it.  The mountain tops out at 14,285 feet so I conquered my first 14er!  Let me tell you, oxygen deprivation is real!   And you know what?  I didn't "climb" it.  I drove it.  And I'm totally ok with that.  Maybe one day I can actually climb a 14er.  Fun fact:  The road to Mt. Evans is the highest paved road in North America.
