The "High 5" to Mt. Evans - By Guest

The El Rancho route will have less traffic congestion but have many bicyclists so be careful on those blind curves. There are restrooms at Summit Lake, probably about the half way point. One more word of caution, watch out for the bighorn sheep. They are very tame and can be found on the roadway anywhere above timberline. This is a great opportunity to take some incredible pictures so don't forget the camera. At only 60 miles from Denver to the summit, this is a must see.
