Mount Evans and Echo Lake, Colorado Rocky Mountains
Mount Evans is a 14,271 foot (4,350 m) peak in Clear Creek County, Colorado. It dominates the Denver area skyline and can be seen from over 100 miles (160 km) away. Echo Lake is a clear alpine lake which sits at the base of the mountain. It was formed by glaciers about 10,000 years ago. It is 40 miles from Denver but is part of Denver's unique mountain park system.
The area was designated as a historic site by the American Physical Society in 2017, commemorating the many cosmic-ray physics experiments conducted on the mountain between 1935 and 1960.
