Mt Evans Road
Anybody know when or if this road is opening this year? Most of Colorado is now in COVID "code blue" so I really hope it opens this time around.

Re: Mt Evans Road
It typically opens memorial day weekend. They supposedly did a lot of improvements on it this past summer so I'm guessing it'll open this year.

Re: Mt Evans Road
When I went, it was a joyous moving parade of people walking, cycling, roller blading, etc. I didn't see any mention of improving the road. Except no cars? That seemed an improvement

Re: Mt Evans Road
I think they were supposed to improve the road. They didn’t. Or at least there was no way I’d ride my roadie over those frost splits. My mountain bike was better able to handle that nasty road.
I hope I get to ride it again before cars are allowed up.
