Visitors looking for things to do around Denver in addition to in the city itself are encouraged to take a drive on the Mount Evans Scenic Byway. This 28-mile road, which can be reached via a 40-minute drive, is a great way for you to fully experience the Rocky Mountains. In fact, it is the country's highest paved road, gaining more than 7,000 feet in elevation and reaching 14,130 feet at its highest point. As you are making your way into the mountains, you will come across several lookout points, where you can stretch out your journey and take in increasingly impressive views of the Rockies. Many experienced Mount Evans Scenic Byway drivers recommend that newcomers take the guided tour and pay special attention to Echo Lake Park, which will be reached at roughly the midway point.

Approximately 2 hours from Denver, you can be on the highest paved road in the country - Mount Evans is one of our famous 14ers - peaks above 14,000 feet. Full Disclosure: Planning our first visit in 2020. ;-)

Want to make it to the top of mountain without the hiking? You can drive to the top of Mt. Evans (in Summer). Don't be fooled, though, it may be 80 in Silverthorne and only 40 at the top of Mt. Evans.
