Summit Lake is so beautiful. Mom and Dad would take us for a picnic there in the Fall to see the Aspens. It was always cold, and as a child, the only time I got hot coffee. So jealous.

We were wearing heavy clothing, gloves and hats. (Yes, Going to the Sun Road is open, but that doesn't mean it's summer there!) Glad you made it safely to the top and back down again!

I must admit that even though I grew up driving on such roads, this trip of yours made me think I would be a bit anxious to drive the road on such a day as you drove it. What an adventure you had. The views are spectacular. I must try to get up there again.Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-44134068523002964222018-07-05T09:45:21.447-04:002018-07-05T09:45:21.447-04:00Yikes!

I've driven up the mountains in Tennessee almost to top of Smokey Mountains, and even in wonderful Summer weather, I still don't like the narrow drive. Knees weak, etc. so could never make that trip up so glad you shared photos. You got some great photos. My son lived out there for a while in the 90's and brought home some great photos of the mountains although I'm pretty sure they were not from going up the mountain.

Yikes. We flew out of Denver just a couple of days before that and our flight was delayed because of hail and tornado warnings. We had a nice sunshiny ride from Longmont to the airport, and before we'd even gotten checked in Geoff texted a picture with the same road we'd just driven on covered with three inches of hail as he drove back home! Changeable weather indeed. i'm going to visit your links for better memories of beautiful Mt Evans! Also just read about more fires ... haven't talked to Geoff or Lisa for a few days .... hope they are far away from the cities and that they are out soon.
