Highest Paved Road in North America


















Next stop was Colorado where we spent a week with family staying in a house in the mountains instead of camping.  We had a great time just spending time together and doing all sorts of sightseeing.  One road-trip item worth mentioning here on the blog was the drive up the highest paved road in North America to the summit of Mt. Evans. Just west of Denver off of I-70 this 14 mile scenic drive is a bit scary but worth checking out, it's one of the few places you can drive to a destination that is over 14,000 feet above sea level. Be sure to stop and check out the Bristlecone Pines along the way and to leave the trailer at the bottom!
