Overview

Mount Blue Sky Scenic Byway (formerly Mount Evans) is 28 miles (45 km) in length and gains over 7,000 feet (2,100 m) of elevation. Achieving a final elevation of 14,130 feet (4,310 m), this is the highest paved road in North America. The road was originally planned by the Denver Mountain Parks system to link Summit Lake Park and Echo Lake Park to their lower altitude parks in the foothills. As originally planned, the road ran from Bergen Park near Evergreen to Echo Lake, and then to the summit, while the road from Echo Lake down into Chicago Creek Canyon was a secondary branch.

I couldn't ask for a better tour. I booked the Mount Evans tour from Denver downtown and didn't know what to expect, but had fun on an adventure that I'll never forget. The guide was incredibly friendly and welcoming and took the time to answer questions as we spent time together in the natural environments. I even walked away with a few new friends that I met during the day.

Mt Evans and Red Rocks tour is a great way to learn more about the history of the Red Rocks and enjoy the views of Mt Evans. Although I'm a native of this area, I wasn't knowledgeable about some of the most popular landmarks in Colorado. Our tour group was small enough to feel intimate and made it easy to interact with our guide.

Our group booked the Mt Evans tour to celebrate a friend's birthday and thoroughly enjoyed the experience from beginning to end. The staff was extremely detailed and planned an incredible picnic for our group where we got to take in the beauty of the mountains in the distance. The scenery was picturesque, and the tour allowed us to explore at our own pace.

Great service all the way to my hotel. Driver/guide Roman was kind, humorous, and professional. He took great care to offer me options because of the limits imposed by my age. I would consider this tour preferable to driving oneself.
