Evergreen Travel Guide

Welcome to Evergreen, CO!

Situated in the foothills of Colorado's Rocky Mountains, Evergreen offers a myriad of outdoor activities, while being only 30 mi (48 km) from Denver. People wanting to explore nature can visit one of the many designated Denver Mountain Parks in the area, which protect native wildflowers, trees and animals, and include Bergen, Dedisse and Fillius parks. Evergreen sports several museums, such as the Hiwan Homestead Museum, as well as a number of unique art galleries, shops and restaurants. Year-round activities are available at Evergreen Lake Park, which is frequented by locals and visitors alike for its summertime fishing and wintertime ice skating. One of the highest paved byways in America, leading up the 14,130 ft (4,300 m) Mount Evans peak, is accessible from Evergreen—heading to Idaho Springs, through Echo Lake and up to the mountain top. Fishers are easily occupied on trips with Blue Quill Angler, while golfers can tee off at Evergreen Golf Course.
