Mt. Evans Elevation: 14264 ft / 4348 m

Towering over the Denver skyline Mt Evans is a very popular mountain for climbers due to it being the closest 14er to Denver.
There is a road to the top of the mountain, and the summit is full of tourists who drive all the way to the summit. The road is closed in the winter. There are routes up Mt Evans that are Class 1,2 3, and 4. This peak is often climbed in conjunction with Mt Bierstadt by crossing the classic "sawtooth" route.
There are 5 trialheads, Echo Lake, Summit Lake, West Chicago Creek, Guanella Pass and Scott Gomer Creek.
