Yes, dogs are allowed but only on leash. However, the trail to the summit from the parking is quite narrow and steep (and sometimes icy) so it would be difficult to go there with your dog. And there are mountain goats around, so your dog may be nervous...

$15.00 per car to go to the top regardless of the amount of people in the car. Hope this helps.

Yes, it should be $10 per vehicle, up to 12 occupantsin vehicle.

About 1.5 hours. But the drive up the mountain to 14 thousand feet takes an hour too. This road is narrow and no gaurd rails and lots if switchbacks. You have to go slow

About an hour to Idahoe Springs and another 30 minutes up to the top of Mount Evans parking lot. Then you can go on a little hike to the summit. Remember WATER , sun protection and change of weather - always have a jacket in the mountains!!

I'm late in responding, but the following roads are still closed due to heavy snow this season. Motorcycles are common and fine. The following roads are mostly still weeks (or more) away from being open: – State Highway 5 Mount Evans – State Highway 82 over Independence Pass between Twin Lakes and Aspen. (Scheduled to open in early June.) – Trail Ridge Road between Estes Park and Grand Lake (Rocky Mountain National Park) – Kebler Pass in the Crested Butte area (Scheduled to open late May or early June) – Cottonwood Pass between Buena Vista and Gunnison County. (Scheduled to open Saturday, June 22)

As mentioned above, it typically is open Memorial Day through Labor Day weather permitting. Lisa R, had some good suggestions but I would like to add a few ideas as well. Some favorites of ours are to go to Morrison, Kittridge and Evergreen (all three cities are right there together). These are quaint mountain towns just 30 minutes from my home in South Denver (Highlands Ranch). Our favorite of the 3 is definitely Evergreen. There is a gorgeous lake with the mountains directly behind it which you can canoe, paddle boat, or kayak as well as sail for a small fee. Across the street from the lake is Willow Creek Restaurant with gorgeous views of the lake and golf course behind it. While sitting outside, there are numerous bird feeders where you can watch the birds and even hummingbird feeders where they come up right beside you. Morrison has a restaurant called Tony Rigatoni's which has above average italian options, but on top of it, is a roof top bar with really pretty views of the town and the mountains all around it. Afterwards, drive through Red Rocks (in Morrison) where you can park and take a relaxing hike. We frequently see deer when we are there. The city of Golden is another fun place to stroll with many dining and shopping options. Golden Gate State Park is nearby with great hiking. Also in Golden is the School of Mines which offers free admission to the School of Mines Mining Museum which has precious gems found in our state on display as well as from around the world. Skip our theme park (Elitch Gardens/Six Flags) in downtown as it's a very small park in downtown Denver and just not worth the money. However, if a water park is something you or the kids would enjoy, Water World on the north side of Denver is amazing and you can pack a cooler (no glass) full of goodies for a full day of fun. There is truly no end to the fun things to do here. Have fun.
