Mount Blue Sky

If you are looking to drive the Mount Blue Sky (Formerly Mount Evans) Scenic & Historic Byway there is a Timed Entry Ticket Reservations System in place to reduce wait times, lines, and crowding at welcome stations, visitors’ centers, and attractions. Dispersing visitors across the days and weeks will reduce impacts on wildlife and improve available parking. The new system reduces crowding, allowing for proper social distancing and creating a more enjoyable and safer outdoor experience.

Reservations are not required for biking and hiking into these areas. Annual and lifetime passholders will still need to make reservations and will only pay the reservation fee. People who arrive without a reservation will need to return to a place where they can get a cell phone signal to secure a timed entry ticket.

Please be safe out there this summer. #CareforColorado and #RecreateResponsibly and #VisitClearCreek and #ClearCreekCounty
