Dodging the Roadkill: Colorado – Riding up Mount Evans
Colorado Springs, CO – On the first day of my trip to Colorado, my crew and I awoke to the beautiful Pike’s Peak that overlooks our hotel. Right off the bat, I could tell this was going to be a good day.

Mount Evans is the highest summit in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. The 14,271 foot peak is located in the Mount Evans Wilderness.

The first thing I noticed was the smell. The cool crisp mountain air filled with the fresh smell of pine trees. It’s a beautiful entrance to one of the world’s most famous landmarks.
