Mt. Evans

Yesterday we drove to the top of Mt. Evans with Erica. The road is the highest road in the US, going to over 14k ft elevation. On the drive we saw bighorn sheep, mountain goats, marmots, and mule deer. At the top, it was a short hike to the very top, where we spent lots of time enjoying the views. It was the girls' first fourteener, and our second.





















On the drive down, we stopped several times at lakes, scenic overlooks, and a nature center. We had lunch at a cool lodge.






Then we drove to Golden, and met Mary & Justin there for the Coors brewery tour. Yay for free beer (and free pop for the kiddies).








After the tour, we walked through downtown Golden and had dinner there. It was another long, fun day!!
