Let me know if you want to join us.
Me and my Midwestern convoy intend to arrive in Parker, Colorado on Saturday July 5th in the late afternoon to meet Evan (Itsky) and the other locals for dinner in their area and will stay somewhere there for the night.
Then on Sunday morning we will be joining the locals for the trip to Rifle, Colorado to our host hotel for the week.
BUT FIRST
along our route is a spectacular sight to see
and I encourage all who can join us to make this a part of your CAA experience !!!

Mount Evans - Highest Paved Road in North America
<<<<<
Mount Evans
is the road into the sky.
All 14 miles of the road from the entrance station to the Mount Evans summit parking area (14,130) are paved.
Drive from 8,700 feet at Idaho Springs exit where you turn off Interstate 70 to 14,240 feet to the summit, and you will pass through 3 life zones, passing ancient trees, lakes and forest to the land above timberline.
It can be 90 degrees in Denver and 40 degrees at the top of Mount Evans.
Mountain Goats and Bighorn Sheep will greet you as you climb to the top of the world.
