Mount Evans Scenic Byway! The Beautiful Rocky Mountains Of Colorado!

- Hello everybody! We are still in the process of editing our Sawtooth Mountains hiking video, so in the meantime here's a bonus photo slideshow for you! Last summer in early August we drove the Mount Evans Scenic Byway (now called Mount Blue Sky) all the way to the top, which is 14,130 feet! This is the highest paved road in North America and is only about an hour from the city of Denver. Along the way there are amazing views of the Rocky Mountains, some cool views of Denver and some awesome mountain goats. It snowed on us at the top and then about halfway down we saw thunderstorm clouds starting to form. This highway is actually quite intimidating to drive and is very narrow in some spots with steep drop-offs. It's not for the faint of heart. We thought it was scarier than hiking Angels Landing. Lol! To drive this highway, we had to reserve a time, as it's a timed entry system. This video mostly just shows the views from the top and some views driving back down. We hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

What must I do to be saved?
The Bible clearly teaches that the moment a person trusts in Jesus to be forgiven of his sin, he is saved (Acts 2:37-41). He has passed from spiritual death to spiritual life (John 5:24) and has been declared not guilty in God's court of law (Romans 3:21-26).
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved (Acts 16:31).
The day of salvation is now (2 Corinthians 6:2).
God bless you all.
It is for sure very beautiful 😊😊😊
Thank you for watching! We love the Rocky Mountains! 🏔

Beautiful views. Cool seeing the mountain goats up close.
Thank you! Yes, those mountain goats were so cool! 😄
Incredibly beautiful!
We agree! Thank you! ❤
What an awesome place. Great views and loved seeing the mountain goats. Very neat that it is the highest paved road in North America
It was really cool to see this place! Loved the mountain goats as well. There were so many of them. Thanks for watching, and we're glad you enjoyed it! ❤
Like 12 👍👍🙌🙌😊😊!
Thanks so much! ❤❤❤
Great photos of the mountain goats 😊 such hardy animals to survive in remote places and scale the rocks so well. Beautiful views.
So true! Thank you, Yasmin! ❤ The views were definitely great! Have a blessed week! 😊
Pretty cool to be on the highest road. Over 14K is pretty high. Definitely altitude sickness worthy for some. Beautiful views all around and of Denver. Cool to see the goats. Awesome. Have a great day.
For sure! We'd love to go back someday and hike it rather than drive it. We loved the goats, too! Thanks so much for watching! Take care! 👍
Thanks for sharing my friend.
You're very welcome, dear friend! 😊
I love how you guys go on so many inspiring hiking adventures!! ❤❤❤
Thanks so much, Katie! We love it, too. Thank you for watching! 💗
We have never been on the Mount Evans scenic byway. Love the mountain goats and the views of Denver in the distance. It sure is a beautiful area.
It's a pretty cool place! We loved the mountain goats! Thank you for watching! 🥰
Shots are phenomenal guys, absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you so much! 💞🙏🏻🥰
Love that area. they just renamed that mountain. I am from Colorado.
It's so awesome! We were there just before the name change. We included the new name in the description as well. Colorado is gorgeous! We have friends there and we hope to go back next year. Have a great weekend! 😊
What a beautiful place! Thanks for sharing my friend! 👍
It really is! Thank you for watching! 🥰
Very cool. Full watch
Thank you so much! 💞
Beautiful views and great shots of the Mountain Goats. Love the Psalm 121 reference.
Thanks so much! Yes, we love that Bible verse! Have a great weekend! 🙏🏻
Another awesome slideshow!
Thanks so much, Jim! 💞
The altitude warning reminded me of all the warning given when climbing to Machu Picchu...didn't get sick, but there was just no catching your breath. My goodness, you sure wouldn't want one of them mountain goats butting one off the edge! Some wonderful views up there! Awesome!!
Machu Picchu would be so cool to visit! That's awesome you got to go there. Yeah, one has to be careful around those mountain goats. 😂 Thanks so much for watching, and we're so glad you enjoyed the video! ❤
Stunning views. Loved the wildlife!
Thanks so much for watching! 😊
Beautiful view from the summit❤🎉
Thanks so much! We loved it! 😍
Well, of course, I came over to take a look
Thanks so much! You rock! ❤
I would love the visit the Rocky Mountains the views were amazing but I think I would keep the wildlife at arms reach! Cheers Alan
You'd love the Rocky Mountains! It's very good to stay a safe distance away from the local wildlife so they don't butt you off the mountain. 😆 A good zoom lens on your camera is key. 🔑 Thanks for watching, Alan! 🥰
Beautiful scenery, thanks for sharing and hope you have a blessed rest of the week.
We are so glad you enjoyed it, Tony! Thank you, and have an amazingly blessed day and weekend!
Hello from your friends in Naples, Florida. That was awesome! The Rocky Mountains are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing the amazing views with us, have a great weekend 👍 💯 ❤
Hello! Thank you for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed it! The Rocky Mountains ROCK! Have a beautiful weekend! 😍
Wow, amazing
Thanks so much! ❤
Beautiful images 👍
Thank you! ❤
What a drive. I can't believe you can drive right to an 14er. Crazy.
Right?!?! Pretty cool. You can do the same up to Pikes Peak, which is also a 14er. ❤ You can either drive or take the Cog Railway. We took the Cog Railway years ago, and it was so much fun. 😊
Love it up there. I have not been in a while.
It's so awesome! Thank you for watching! ❤
Very beautiful place 😍
Greetings from Australia
Thanks so much! Greetings to you! 😁
Great shots. Glad to see you seemed unaffected by altitude sickness. 👍
Thank you! Yeah, we didn't have any issues with it up here. When we were hiking Mt. Bierstadt, also a 14er, we had a slight headache, but that was it. Thanks again for watching! 😊
We have not made it up here and it does look a brilliant viewpoint. We have stayed in Denver a few times as the airport is a convenient place to start road trips with some of the best of the west immediately accessible. Snow in August. We thought we were high up at about 12000 feet in the Rocky Mountain National Park but this easily tops that. Will have to give it a go if we get back.
We love the Denver area, too, since the mountains are so easily accessible from there. We hope you make it back here! We love being up high in the mountains. It's almost like you can touch the face of God. ❤ Thank you for watching! 😊
Breathtaking footage! What an elevation. Were those Billy goats … or …? They were absolutely stunning to look at. One really can see for miles and miles🎶👀. Wonderful share! Have a blessed week, Rachel and John!
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the video! They were Mountain Goats, and we think they were both Billy and Nanny Goats, which are just the male and female version of Mountain Goats. We had to Google that one. 😆 They really were neat to see! One definitely can see for miles up here. Have a wonderful and blessed week, Kat! 💞
@@TheWanderingWulfs LOL I should have looked it up too … thanks makes sense .. Nanny and Billy = Mountain … sounds like it could make a good country song🎶🎶. “See” you soon :)
Amazing views- wow, hard to believe you can see Denver! Sounds like the road is very scary… would you go again? The views of the Rocky Mountains are amazing and super cool to drive to such a high elevation. We were at about 10,000 in Utah…the highway was just fine, but some of the nearby logging roads are quite sketchy to get to other hiking points. Whew. 👌🌟🌟 - Jen
Right?! About being able to see Denver. Pretty cool. We might go again, but not anytime soon. 😆 Definitely just need to drive slow. We'd like to hike to the top of this 14er as a dayhike sometime. We hear the mountain goats are pretty much always there. ❤ It is really neat that a person can drive up to 14,000 feet. Pikes Peak has a road up to it, too, but we haven't driven it. BUT we have taken the Cog Railway to the top of it. That was fun! 😊 Thank you for watching, Jennifer!
such a great video
thanks
im your new friend 288
Thanks so much for being here! ❤
