Description
The 14,259 foot mountain in northern Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park has served as a navigational aid for thousands of years. Prehistoric hunters oriented their travels by it and the Ute Indians saw Longs Peak as a sacred place and guiding landmark. French speaking fur trappers called Longs Peak and adjacent Mt. Meeker "Les Deux Oreilles," or the Two Ears.
After Major Stephen H. Long led a U.S. Army topographic expedition to this region in 1820, the peak was named for him. As Major Long and his party of 22 explorers neared the Rocky Mountains, he wrote, "a high Peake was plainly to be distinguished towering above all the others as far as sight extended." Modern travelers still use this famous landmark to orient themselves when needed...
