Mt. Evans–Elevation 14, 264 Feet

After our Quandary Peak hike we wanted a day to take it easy so we invited the Terrals to drive the Mt. Evans Scenic Byway which is the highest paved road in North America.

We stopped for a picnic lunch.  Mike was a trooper carrying his oxygen at the high altitude.
