While the kids were in camp Crystal and I visited some parks and peaks in Colorado – here is a gallery of our trips to Red Rocks as well Mt. Evans. Mt. Evans boasts the highest paved road (though in some stretches that was being generous) and you can drive all the way to the the top. It took about 45 minutes to cover the 8 miles of the White-Knuckle Parkway. Storms were predicted but the skies were clear at the top for us.

The road up to Mt. Evans is a winding, steep, narrow, white knuckle drive.
