Summit Lake Park, Mt. Evans - Clear Creek County, CO - Colorado Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

"Summit Lake Park: High on Mt. Evans, this park’s 13,000-ft elevation (3,000 m) will literally take your breath away. A user-friendly trail makes this park a comfortable experience for young and old, mountaineers and city-dwellers alike. Vistas of glacial valleys and rugged peaks attract photographers, and meadows of ground-hugging wildflowers flourish during the brief alpine summer. Visitors pay a fee to the U.S. Forest Service to access facilities on Mt. Evans; funds raised support maintenance and improvements at Summit Lake." (from (visit link) )
