Hi Everyone, thought that we could set up a drive to Mount Evans~ I drove up part of it the other day and its a simple drive that lasts quite a while. As far as a time line goes probably in the next month would be good, like perhaps the first weekend of September?? Probably be an all day thing with lunch and dinner. This is definetely a scenic drive so cameras are a necessity! Sign up if you wanna go!

I would love to go, am unavailable however the weekend of August 30th, and Sept 6. Any other time is great for me.

I should be free to cruise then... sounds like fun!

I'm up for it whenever, sounds like a good time.

I might be up for this. I took the family up to summit lake the other day.

Crystal, how far up did you go? There was some pretty severe damage to the road up by summit lake. I am glad we were in the Jeep. Not sure if some of the lowered mazdas would make it over the dips and bumps.
Here's a few pics:

Very nice photo's Lee! What a beautiful area!

I agree, those are some really nice pics. I really like the 4th one!

Also i am not sure if i have anything going but i would be down for this cruise.

It's suppose to snow a foot up there tomorrow.

I was up there last summer and warned of the damage to the road. You'd have to plan ahead when driving through it with anything lowered or just low (RX-8). Scraping, getting stuck or high centering could be a real issue. The road isn't just pot holed and missing pieces- the road is heaved up forming big mounds and ruts. It was pretty hairy driving through with my SUV.

Exactly...I'm not sure that half of our cars would make it past Summit lake.

You might actually have to walk to Summit Lake since the parking lot is just beyond that rough section.

It would be perfect to take some pics of the cars up there for our calendar. Depending on what weekend, we're down for the cruise.

IN! I want to go!!! A Saturday would be ideal. With school starting back up and work still, my only free day from both are Saturdays.

I say we all go and lee take his jeep :P then we all carpool in multiple trips up to the lake
