Mount Evans Wilderness Area

The Ultimate Mountain Tour

The Tour - roughly 8 hours
Take a day with us to venture to the "top of the world". From Denver we head west through Clear Creek Canyon to Idaho Springs, where we will begin our climb to the top of Mount Evans via the highest paved automobile road in North America! Breathtaking wilderness areas are rivaled only by the thrill of reaching the14,264-foot summit. Along the way, witness the effects of glacial activity, see fragile Arctic tundra plants and 1600 year old trees. Herds of bighorn sheep and mountain goats in their natural environment provide a thrill for wildlife viewers.

After we wind our way back down the mountain, we will stop in historic Idaho Springs to shop and have some lunch. Then we will head to the Phoenix Gold Mine - an 1871 working gold mine where you will be guided by an actual miner. You may even get "gold fever" after panning for gold in a clear mountain stream. Plus, you get to keep any gold you find!

Caution: The Mount Evans and Rocky Mountain National Park tours are not for the faint hearted. The air is very thin and sudden changes in the weather are not uncommon on the alpine tundra. Snow is possible at any time and summertime thunder showers are frequent. Daytime temperatures often do not exceed 60 degrees and can plummet with the arrival of a cloud or the stirring of wind. Dress warmly and always bring a jacket or sweater when visiting the mountains.

Exposure to the sun is 40% greater above timberline than it is at sea level and only 40% of the oxygen is available. Everyone, regardless of the elevation they are accustomed to, may be short of breath or have less energy at high elevations. While most people will not be adversely affected, persons with health problems such as heart disease or asthma should be strongly cautioned against the effects of high altitude.

Suggested list of items to bring along:

  • Jacket
  • Umbrella
  • Comfortable shoes
  • Cameras and binoculars
  • Sunscreen with a rating of 15 or higher
  • Sunglasses
