We leave Denver at 7:30 a.m. seven days a week and will ride in a van to the top of Mount Evans on the Highest Paved road in the USA - an adventure in itself. You will start the Bike Adventure above the clouds or about 3,000 feet above timberline at 14,264 feet above sea level. From this point, you clearly see the continental divide to the west and three major cities to the east along the Rocky Mountain Front Range. You will experience the thrill of riding a bike down the highest paved road in the USA past timberline through forests, past lakes, meadows, steep hillsides and along mountain streams. We will have time to stop and take photos of wildlife such as mountain sheep, goats, elk, deer, and hawks. If we are lucky, we may see bald eagles working the thermals. You will be riding down to the Historic City of Idaho Springs where millions were made in gold and silver. You will ride about 28 miles down Mount Evans arriving just in time for lunch. After lunch, Bike and Trails will take you back to where you we picked you up. At the top of Mount Evans, it can be 20° colder than on the floor of the plains in Denver, so sweat pants over your shorts and a jacket are recommended. This Adventure takes about 5 1/2 to 6 hours from start to finish. You must have a valid driver's license to participate in this event.
