How late in the year can you ride Mt. Evans?
I want to take a trip to CO sometime this fall and take a stab at Mt.
Evans. I am wondering how late in the season you can be assured ridable weather? i.e., no snow storms, roads open, etc. I shouldn't be deterred by cold or rain (within reasonable limits). Thanks, Eric Lambi |

I'd say July and August are probably the only "safe" months for planning a trip, and even then snow up high is not out of the question. Late afternoon thunderstorms are almost a daily occurance in July and August, but all day storms are an extreme rarity. If you can be off the high peaks by 2pm, then rain should not be a problem. _ September and October are really variable from year to year. In the past the road closed on Labor day, but is now open until the first big snow. http://www.mountevans.com/ME-Plannin...enClosing.HTML _ I wouldn't make plans for much later than the first or second week in September. _ Booker C.
