Reaching a peak elevation of 14,130 feet (4,310 m), it holds the title of the highest paved road in North America. Initially, the Denver Mountain Parks system designed the road to connect Summit Lake Park and Echo Lake Park with their lower altitude parks in the foothills. The original route extended from Bergen Park near Evergreen to Echo Lake, and then to the summit, with a secondary branch running from Echo Lake down into Chicago Creek Canyon.
