With its peak topping out at an elevation of 14,259 feet, Long's Peak is among the tallest summits in the Rocky Mountains and is the single tallest peak in Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park. You can easily see it for miles in every direction towering above the rest of the Park!
This trip is a backpacking trip that takes us through a series of camps, drawing us closer to striking distance of Longs Peak. Finally on Day 3 we'll go for it and, weather permitting, make an attempt for the summit. This route is not for the faint of heart. The summit bid involves steep scrambling and hiking across boulder fields, snow banks, and steep side slopes.
We'll enjoy the summit for an hour or so before turning around and returning to camp. The final two days of hiking will take us back to our starting point and off to the showers!
