The road up to summit lake park and to the Mt Evans Summit is really not bad compared to some. No real “steep” stretches. It does wind and curve a lot at times but it’s a rather steady climb. There are no guard rails so you do get a nice view off the side of the mountain along the way but if you take your time and pay attention it’s a nice drive. Have seen small RVs and tour buses driving up as well if that gives you a perspective. If heights bother you or you get stressed along the route just pull off at one of the stops and take a break. Just remember, altitude affects people differently so just be aware of yourself and how you feel. Personally I think the road up from summit lake to the peak is really low key. Stay safe and enjoy the trip. Mt Evans and Summit Lake Park are awesome!
