Mt. Evans Road regulations have seen many changes lately. I observed the following: need cash only, exact change, "half price" right now, which I guess is $5 instead of the normal $10. But I didn‘t pay anything, I drove in after the booths were closed, road is open all night. The fee seems somewhat optional depending on your destination? The road is gated closed at Summit Lake, summit is only accessible on foot. There are new signs to pay $5 at Summit Lake self serve kiosk, administered by City of Denver. I didn‘t pay this either, I turned around and drove 0.3 miles back to a large dirt parking lot. Nobody bothered me sleeping there, no tickets on the dash late afternoon after hike.
