At an elevation of 12,840 feet, Summit Lake Park anchors the high-altitude end of the Mountain Parks system. The route to the top of Mount Evans, one of America’s highest auto roads, is usually accessible from Memorial Day to Labor Day and is maintained until major snowstorms prohibit travel.
The 160-acre Summit Lake Park is surrounded by National Forest lands and the Mount Evans Wilderness and features beautiful views and slow-growing tundra wildflowers.
