Road Opening:
(See the Home Page of this site for road status.)
The road to the top of Mount Evans is typically opened in May (Memorial
Day) when CDOT (Colorado Department of Transportation) has completely plowed
the road. Usually the road to Summit Lake is opened before the last 5 miles
to the summit is opened.
Once opened, the road is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Unlike Pikes
Peak that is only open from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm.
Road Closing:
(See the Home Page of this site for road status.)
CDOT has returned to closing the top five miles the day after Labor Day. CDOT says that the first 10 miles (of 15 to the summit) will be open until
the "first significant snowfall" or the first weekend in October which ever is first. Exactly what is a "significant snowfall"
is not defined.
