About this activity

Join us on a magnificent day trip to Mount Blue Sky (formally Mount Evans) tour from Denver. Located only 60 miles west of Denver, The Summit is accessible by the highest paved road in North America. Standing at 14,271 feet, it is considered one of the most prominent mountains in the front range of the Rocky Mountains. See rocky mountain bighorn sheep, mountain goats, marmots, birds and alpine wildflowers, all the while taking in the spectacular views of distant mountain peaks, alpine lakes and glacier valley.
