Mount Evans is a mountain in the Front Range region of the Rocky Mountains, in Clear Creek County, Colorado.
Mount Evans was originally known as Mount Rosa or Mount Rosalie (named for the wife of Fitz Hugh Ludlow who would later be the wife of Albert Bierstadt, and featured in Bierstadt's painting "Storm in the Rocky Mountains"), and is located in what is known by locals as the Chicago Peaks Range.
