Colorado 14ers: Mt Blue Sky (Formerly Mt Evans) Spring Hike Trail Guide

In early April, I hiked the 14er Mt Blue Sky from Echo Lake. It was a very long day as the hike was about 17.5 miles and 5,600ft of elevation. From summit lake the hike is about 5.5 miles with 2,000 ft of elevation gain. To watch the hike from summit lake, skip to 9:55 in the video to start your virtual hike.
