The Mount Evans highway stretches for 28 miles (45 km), gaining more than 7,000 feet (2,100 m) in height. Reaching a final altitude of 14,130 feet (4,310 m), it holds the title of the tallest asphalt road in North America. Initially, the roadway was a project of the Denver Mountain Parks system, envisioned as a connection between Summit Lake Park to Echo Lake Park and their lower elevation parks nestled in the foothills. The original layout saw the road commence from Bergen Park close to Evergreen, leading up to Echo Lake, and then to the apex, while the way from Echo Lake descending into Chicago Creek Canyon served as an auxiliary route.
