Been to the top of Mt Evans twice it was the August and was grateful to have a jacket as it was cold and windy. Great views.

Isn’t it Mt. Blue Sky now?
Hi I am planning to drive from Denver international Airport to Aspen and make a few stops on the way including Idaho Spring and Mt Evans scenic byways. It's mom and daughter trip and I (daughter) will be driving mostly. I am from Florida and not used to drive even on hills. We are going in August and planning to rent a compact SUV. Do you think this will be too dangerous or difficult for me to drive up to summit? I really want to include this in our plan but not sure if this could turn to a nightmare... Also do we need hiking shoes to climb the rocks on the top? Thank you so much for your help and thank you for putting this amazing video. We watched it loke 5 times.!!!

Hi! Sounds like a fun trip! I drove a compact SUV (Ford Escape) but any car even sedans can do the drive. It is not a difficult drive - just take it slow if in doubt and let faster drivers pass so you can take the drive at your own pace. Sneakers are OK for the climb up - its a well maintained trail. No flip-flops of course. Thanks for watching! @user-wf1hg6vk7c
