Popular scenic Mount Evans Highway will stay closed to motorists for all of 2020

Cross another awesome outdoor activity off your list for this summer due to the coronavirus. The highway to the summit of Mount Evans will not open in 2020. Mount Evans is the closest fourteener to Denver, and the 28-mile drive south from Idaho Springs rises nearly 7,000 feet. The iconic peak’s snowcapped, east-facing slopes are often shown looming behind the Denver skyline in panoramic promotional photographs of the city. The road is closed at Echo Lake, 14 miles from the summit. Driving to the 14,264-foot summit is a popular summer activity for families and tourists.
