    Tips

    December 20, 2023

    Embarking on the ascent of Mount Blue Sky (formerly Mount Evans) is must-do for any cyclist looking for a high altitude challenge. The road up to the summit, which is at 14,130 feet above sea level, is the highest paved road in North America, so as you ride up this epic switchbacking road, keep an eye on how you feel because many experience altitude sickness at these elevations. The summit parking lot is a great place to rest, take photos, and enjoy the views before heading back down the road, which demands vigilance. There are no guardrails, little to no shoulder, and steep drops along the road so please be aware as you begin your descent.
