My first trip up Mount Evans was in a pickup truck, in July. We packed a picnic lunch in a cooler, in the bed of the truck. We arrived at the parking lot at the top, just as a storm arrived. What an experience! At that altitude, you are in the storm. We had our picnic, reaching through the back window and fishing items out of the cooler, while getting pelted by marble sized hail. It was one way to learn the lesson, that any high altitude trips are best done in the morning.
Ha! I can relate. We had a snow squeal while up there. Thankfully it didn’t last long. Thanks for sharing!
