Title: Has Anyone Climbed Colorado's Mt. Evans?

Not in our toads, but with their Bus Conversions?  Has anyone made it to the top?  How did your Bus Conversion run that high up?  Just curious.

We done it a couple of times in a Eagle with a 8v92TA,a 8v71 N/A would struggle lol but then the bicycle riders make it.You see tour buses up there we have both times we were there it must be common they have $40.00 fee for tour buses

not for the faint of heart. In much of the upper part the road makes car drivers nervous, narrow and no guard railinsg. Then there are the many 180* switchbacks. Those will test your steering skills !

Nothing there when you reach the top but a pile of rocks  ;D  I had to sit one time for 3 hrs till the lighting was right for my co-pilot to take a picture of the frigg'n rock pile

If you stop in the switchbacks the mountain goats will show up and chew on your fenders
