The road to the summit of Mount Blue Sky, formerly known as Mount Evans, will not open for the summer of 2025 because of a construction project being managed by the Federal Highway Administration.
Visitors hike to the peak of Mount Blue Sky from the parking lot on the summit on July 5, 2012. , the highest paved road in North America, is one of Colorado’s most treasured summer activities, as well as a lure for out-of-state tourists. The closure had been rumored for months, but was not confirmed until the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests put out a news release with details on Thursday.
“Mount Blue Sky Recreation Area requires a full team to manage, from operating the welcome station to cleaning the restrooms at the summit,” said Clear Creek district ranger Patsy McEntee, according to the release. “With Memorial Day occurring earlier in May this year, increasing the potential for weather impacts, and to align with seasonal employee start dates, we’ve decided to delay the traditional opening by a week. We hope making this decision early helps the public plan ahead.
