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 we are unable to reach the summit parking lot, we will still be able to access Summit Lake (12,840 ft)* Highlights : • Red Rocks Amphitheatre • Scenic Views • Wildlife • Small Group • Local Tour Operator
