I left the Summit Lake Trailhead at 3:20 am and summited at 6:10 am. I was at my Truck by 8:00 am.

A beautiful day on this peak with no wind at the summit.

This is a fanatic trial and well built!

As I approaced the summit of Mt Evans I see people at top and realized quickly that these are sightseers that drove up the road.
