Review:
The Mount Evans Scenic Byway is the highest paved road in the entire United States capable of supporting car traffic. It was built in 1927 to compete for tourists with a similar road leading up Pikes Peak. The road runs 14 miles up Mount Evans and culminates in a parking area and viewing platform near the mountain’s peak.
To reach the summit, visitors only need to climb another quarter mile by foot. On Mount Evans, there are several hiking and cycling trails beyond the car-friendly byway. The mountain has unique animal species living on its slopes, including mountain goats, marmots, and big horn sheep. Map
