Mount Evans標高14,264呎/4,347公尺，是科羅拉多州14ers中兩座可以開車上山的高山(Pikes Peak & Mount Evans)之一，該條景觀道路即是Mount Evans Scenic Byway，從Echo Lake開始到山頂全長14哩，都已鋪設柏油路面，是北美最高的已鋪設路面的汽車道路。

今年帶翔翔來美度假，今天特地帶他去走走Mount Evans Scenic Byway順便攀登Mount Evans；此路線及Mount Evans我在部落格中已有多篇文章介紹，本文僅貼些照片，行程細節請參閱本部落格其他文章。

位在Mount Evans收費站北方103公路旁，在湖的北端湖邊是野餐區，環湖步道大約3/4哩，是散步的好地方。

Mount Evans Parking Lot--海拔14,130呎/4,307公尺

在此可以一覽洛磯山脈壯麗的景觀；往北可遠眺洛磯山國家公園的Longs Peak，往南可看到位在Colorado Springs 市郊的Pikes Peak。聽說在晴朗的天氣甚至可看到堪薩斯州呢！真是難以置信。

The Crest House –

天空中的城堡—由Edwin Francis建築師所設計，興建於1939到1941年，當時是世界上最高的建築(海拔14260呎/ 4346公尺 ) ，原是販賣紀念品和餐飲的地方，遊客在此一邊享用美食，一邊欣賞丹佛市區和東方大平原，是最吸引遊客的地方。該建築在1979年9月1日 的一場大火整棟建築物付之一炬，直到1992年Arapaho National Forest 重新整理遺跡，將殘餘的Crest House 整修為觀景平台，成為今日遊客沉思憑弔的地方。

Mount Evans--海拔14,264呎/4,348公尺

從停車場往上走1/4哩即可抵達Mount Evans的山頂，輕鬆檢得一顆14ers，此路段雖僅1/4哩長，爬升高度也僅134呎/41公尺，但由於高海拔，對於有高山反應的遊客來說還真不是一件容易的事！
