FORT COLLINS, Colo — Reservations will soon be available for Mount Evans and Brainard Lake recreation areas, the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) announced Wednesday.
Mount Evans Recreation Area is tentatively scheduled to open on June 4, weather permitting, and reservations can be made up to 30 days in advance beginning June 2.
Permits are now listed on Recreation.gov: https://www.recreation.gov/timed-entry/10087438
Of course it also says this...
Due to technical difficulties, advanced reservations for Mount Evans are delayed. We are working diligently to correct the problem. Please check back for status updates. We will give advanced notice this afternoon to announce when these tickets will go on sale.
Reservations have a $2 fee on top of the normal entry fee. Important to note that there are different reservations allowing access to the actual Evans summit, summit lake, or the Goliath/interpretive area. Also strange that your ticket is valid for three days, not sure how that fits with "timed entry" or if you enter at your time the first day and can then come back at any time the next two days? Kind of confusing.
I don't see anything about how early/late it applies or if you can beat the reservation system by going early like with RMNP. Hopefully that is possible and they just aren't publicizing it...
