Mount Evans is the highest paved road in North America, and there’s no better way to see it than aboard a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Being one of 26 Scenic Byways in Colorado, the Mount Evans Scenic Byway just might be the most dangerous high altitude roadway in the state, with steep drop-offs and deteriorating road conditions above the treeline. The road reaches 14,130 feet above sea level at the summit, making it a bucket list ride for any motorcyclist! Colorado and the Rocky Mountains are filled with amazing motorcycle rides, but no motorcycle trip to the state is complete without a ride to the top of the world. For those faint of heart or who aren’t able to enter the fee area of the road, riding Squaw Pass from Bergen Park to Idaho Springs offers great views of the Continental Divide, and is one of my favorite motorcycle rides near Denver.
We’ll also check out Tommyknocker Brewery in Idaho Springs, one of my favorite places to take a day ride out of Denver in the Summer months.

Being from Colorado I have ridden up Mt. Evans many times on my bicycle .... Your comment on the road is spot on I won't do it again until they fix it. However, I have yet to ride it on the motorcycle and will do that this summer. Your advice to take lots of water and to start early to avoid thunderstorms is important to those that aren't used to altitude. Tommyknockers is a great spot in Idaho Springs. Have you been to Beau Jo's for their Mountain Pizza Pies? They have honey on the table for the crust and it's a nice combination of sweet and savory. Thanks for the great content.

In my younger years I camped at Echo Lake, then up early and rode my mtn. bike to the summit. It snowed an inch or two during the night & I was the first one on the rode that day. Riding through fresh snow & through a herd of mtn. goats near the summit. A wonderful personal memory.

We have been there in 2021 August on the way home from Sturgis to South Florida. We have seen patches of snow. It is an unbelievable ride, quite challenging sometimes. My wife was sitting right behind me, and either she was screaming or praying. What a ride, what a view!!! Next day we rode the Million Dollar Hwy.

We rode our Wing up MT. Evans and Pikes Peak in 6/19. You're right about a couple of rough sections. Looked the same to me. Being from East TN with lots of mountains and narrow, curvy roads we really enjoyed the ride. Just have to watch for cars taking ALL the road! We saw some Mtn goats and a baby one, lots of Mtn sheep, and a ptarmigan. Also saw those marmots eating asphalt. Go figure. I guess if I lived at 14,000 feet elevation and cold as hell all year, I'd eat asphalt too. Enjoyed the ride with you guys!

I rode a carbureted 02 softail fxst for awhile and always got crazy looks and comments about the rides I would do and want to do because of my bike but I never let that stop me. You don’t need a bagger with a six speed to ride and see the world and you’re proof of that! Keep up the amazing vids!

We don't have anything anywhere close to that high in the UK, our top three are Cairnwell Pass (2,200ft), The Lecht (2,113 ft) and Bealach na Ba (2,054 ft) which has several really tight switchbacks. I rode all three this summer on my ride around Scotland.

Thanks for another great video! You seem to always go somewhere that I’ve been in the past (some would say I’m old) but it’s great cuz it brings back good memories. I’ve been up Mt. Evans 3 or 4 times. I always felt the switchbacks on Mt Evans we’re easier than those on Pikes Peak. They might be tighter but I don’t think they’re as steep. There’s a State Park in Arkansas called Mt. Nebo. The switchbacks up to the top of Mt. Nebo are flat out terrifying. I’ll never ride up there again! But I’m a flat lander from central IL, only two curves in my town and straight roads and corn everywhere else…

Thanks for always watching and riding along! Have only done pikes once, and the donuts weren’t available due to the pandemic. So I have to do a redemption ride to the top next year! 🍩

@@ridetofood …. That’s a great idea! Hope the donuts are fresh when you get there. By the way, I really enjoy your videos, the composition, the editing, scenery you choose, and your narration is on par with the best! Plus, you have a wonderful voice, easy to listen to. Thanks again for all the effort you put into your videos.

Nice video you're pretty I'm a life long Coloradan and I haven't been up there but yesterday I spent some quality time on Independence pass I sometimes forget how beautiful it is here when you get away from the crowds of the Denver metro! Also I love me some Blood Orange IPA from Tommyknocker!

I was up there once back in 2003. The O2 up there is pretty thin. I stopped the bike, put the kick stand down and then stepped off the bike to stumble around like I had slammed a six pack of beer on the way up. Cheep drunk. lol Burn some gas and get hypoxia.

great video. trying to do some scouting, by using your videos. I rode pikes peak last year in September and I'm hoping to do Mount Evans this year. the road looks like hell. I hope it's much better today than then. I'll be going west out of Denver, so tommyknocker might be a perfect spot for lunch.

@ridetofood Год назад
It’s the same condition as it was last year but since it’s alter in the season there shouldn’t be much snowmelt/runoff on the roadway! If you like pizza, beaujos is great in Idaho springs too! Bivuoac coffee in evergreen before you head up. There’s a reservation system still for mount evans and they release a few extra tickets the day before at 5pm (I think) if you’re planning at the last second. Definitely go earlier to avoid storms :)

@@ridetofood love the input. It's going to be my first time to ride anywhere west of denver. Rolling all the way to San Francisco then through Portland and back. I'll be in town for the Roger Waters concert. Thinking about checking out bierstat lager house and then the Buffalo Bill spot on the west side before stopping at living the dream Brewing, on my way back to Castle Rock.

I'm curious to know what camping gear you use. All my camping gear is huge and it looks like yours packs down really small. Maybe an off-season video idea?

Hey Staci, I will be up the first week in June. Thinking of riding Mt. Evans, but will have my Bushtec trailer in tow. Do you see any issues with pulling a trailer on this road? Thanks Kevin
@ridetofood
@ridetofood Год назад
I think a motorcycle trailer would be okay but I’m not entirely sure how they handle. If they do well in hairpin turns you should be fine

Mine is EFI but the anniversary edition seen here is carb! However, it’s jetted for mile high elevations....not sea level lol. So it was fine!

@pepestudiovideo 2 года назад
@@ridetofood Thanks for letting me know. That helps. I would need something fuel injected since I ride a lot around in California. Not as extreme altitude in sweet Colorado but plenty of high peaks here. Your answer helps a lot.

Great personality and presence. Your voice makes me vomit, though. It cracks and cracks and cracks, and the fact you don't notice makes me wonder, greatly, what planet I did land on. Oh, you're one of many I have said this to: YOU HURT MY EARS! I COULD WATCH YOU ALL DAY WITHOUT SOUND, OR RIDE ALL DAY WITH YOU HEARING THE HARLEY DAVIDSON TALK. IF YOU LIKE SOUND, BEGIN BY LISTENING TO YOURSELF. Great ride you showed today, so thanks for bringing me along, it was fun.
