That is true on both counts. And the driver has to have steel nerves for the tight hairpin curves and narrow roadway, especially near the top.

Thanks for that tip. That shows you how little I know about wildlife that isn’t native to where I live. >grin<

Interesting comparison. I’ll have to look up that area around Hampi.

The tan animals in some of your photos are sheep. The shaggier white ones are mountain goats. This is a fun mountain to visit, glad you got to experience it!

But the similarity ends there. The vast expanse of green, undulating mountains around Mount Evans is different from the arid landscape of Hampi. But the former looks no less impressive than the latter I must say.

Still, if you just get out of the car and take a few pictures, it’s worth it!

It’s kind of a scary drive, but the views are beautiful.

We sure noticed the altitude as we walked around near the summit.
