Overview
Join us on an adventure to one of Colorado’s tallest mountains! We’ll start by taking in the views at one of the world’s most unique and scenic outdoor music venues, Red Rocks Amphitheatre. From there, we’ll head towards Mt. Blue Sky (formerly known as Mt. Evans) on a scenic bypass with panoramic views.
Enjoy your lunch and stroll at Echo Lake. Drive up Mt. Blue Sky to Summit Lake at almost 13'000 feet for some stunning views. If you are seeking an all-day outing that gets you close to nature while showcasing Colorado’s stunning beauty, this is the tour for you!
*The summit parking lot usually is unreachable until the first weeks of June, and remains open until mid October. If we are unable to reach the summit parking lot, we will still be able to access Summit Lake (12,840 ft)*
