We went to Mt. Evans (elevation 14,264 ft.) last year but we were somewhat crunched for time so we decided to take the trip again. You can drive the Mt. Evans road to 14,130 ft. and then walk up to the summit at 14,264 ft. We were not disappointed. It was a beautiful morning and the views were spectacular. The group had some fun climbing to the peak and posing on the rocks.

We had beautiful views from the summit.
Steve was the first to make it to the summit rocks.
Wow we are up high!
After we came down from the rocks a marmot decided to check out the view.
Interesting rock formation.
As we were coming down from the summit of Mt. Evans we stopped at Summit Lake and took a short walk to the overlook of Chicago Lakes.
I thought this was an interesting flower.
We stopped once more at Echo Lake for a picnic lunch but the storm clouds were gathering and we called it a day.
