Mount Evans Wilderness, Nature reserve in Clear Creek County, US.
Mount Evans Wilderness encompasses high-altitude terrain with alpine meadows, rocky summits, and mountain valleys across 74,400 acres of preserved Colorado landscape.
The United States Forest Service designated this area as a wilderness in 1980 to protect the natural resources and maintain the ecological balance of the region.
The area represents a significant change in 2023 when Mount Evans was renamed to Mount Blue Sky, acknowledging the heritage of Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes.
Visitors need to obtain proper permits and licenses before entering the wilderness area, following specific guidelines for camping, hiking, and wildlife observation.
Mountain goats and bighorn sheep frequently traverse the rocky slopes, creating natural pathways through the alpine environment above 14,000 feet elevation.
