MOUNT EVANS, COLORADO, FROM WINDOW lyFDGF 



The proposed Mount Evans drive will connect the Denver Mountain Park System with 

 this, one of the highest peaks in the United States, elevation 14,259 feet. The city of Denver 

 has already built 10 miles of this drive to Window Ledge, on Squaw Mountain. The United 

 States Forest Service has built an additional 10 miles to Echo Lake. Most of the remaining 

 20 miles of the drive will be above timber-line, reaching an elevation of 12,740 feet at 

 Summit Lake, on Mount Evans.
