What to know when visiting the summit of Mount Evans

[@guysmarket3285]

He taught me more than I was expecting to learn from this video.

[@habaceeba]

Excellent tips. Everyone should be required to watch this before going up there.

[@madeleinebright2590]

Can you include a video going in depth about the permit system?

[@ColoradoParksandWildlife]

Here is a link to their reservation website: www.recreation.gov/timed-entry/10087438/ticket/10087439

[@indriadrayton1132]

If there are bathrooms, why doo doo outside? People are nasty as hell!!

[@wradford1]

Yep We wreck everything 🙄

[@mtnman6557]

Duh....when you're camping around Lincoln Lake or anywhere out in Mt Evans, there are no toilets out in the wilderness area, just at the trailhead. I've camped there many times for 5-7 days & you just need to bury your poop & carry out all trash.

I’m gonna lean on the side of, my dogs don’t need to go up there with me. Or don’t need to get out of the vehicle if they do. It’s already a situation that can require decision-making and focus when your head is not clear because of the altitude. I don’t want to add, holding a dog leash to the mix.

[@user-dx7lt6yj4e]

so it is dog friendly?

[@CPerryTravels]

I noticed the permits are only through Labor Day. Is it possible to drive the road in late September after Labor Day?

[@nancyincolorado8581]

It says on the website the road will be closed starting Sept 3, 2024 all the way through 2025 and opening in 2026. So no one, car or bike or walking, cargo up the road.

[@anthonychihuahua]

Maybe you can answer here, CPW? As I understand it, as long as I don't get out of my car, I can drive that road without paying the fee?

[@ColoradoParksandWildlife]

Still best to check in with the Forest Service on the policies/procedures for Mount Evans. Here is a starting point: www.recreation.gov/timed-entry/10087438/ticket/10087439

[@anthonychihuahua]

@@ColoradoParksandWildlife I thank you very much.

[@jordanbrady1847]

DID NOT REALIZE THERE WOULD BE SO MUCH GOAT SHIT TALK in a video about "What to know when visiting the summit of Mount Evans"

[@bradthehighwayman9956]

LMFaooooooo Exactly

[@wradford1]

Sounds like the main thing to know is, Let's not destroy the fragile eco system of the mountain. Anything else you need to know about going up there is pretty much common sense or can be found online.

[@theurbanthirdhomestead]

Have you considered electromagnetic frequencies as a cause of the exacerbated E. coli? Just curious.

[@wradford1]

More chance it's caused by humans leaving their crap up on the mountain.

[@mikeschurmann1525]

I thought this link would give info on the permit system and hours. Not 5 minutes of poop talk

[@varnospagrafee6988]

In that Mountain That’s where a lot of people come at so they could see some Animals there and there is bathroom

[@varnospagrafee6988]

The Animals has a different behavior than humans we have her own different behavior
