Well maybe not the best scenic drive ever but at least one of the best. Mt Evans Scenic drive surely will impress you from the very start to the end. You will have many things to see on the 14 Miles of driving from breathtaking scenery to animals like the Big Horn Sheep and the Pika. For things to do in Colorado this has to rank in your top 10 for sure. There is a parking lot at the end of the 14 miles but you are still not at the very top of Mt. Evans. You still have 130 ft of hiking to go. Please be careful if your not used to the altitude. Visit our Altitude Sickness post so you know what signs to look at for.
