Description
Had to get up pretty early to catch the first rays of sunlight on the Colorado mountain peaks, but it was worth it!
Longs Peak is the highest mountain in Rocky Mountain National Park. It is one of the fifty-four 14,000-foot peaks of Colorado. It is a prized playground for the budding hiker or mountaineer, the intermediate to advanced rock climber, the intermediate to advanced ice climber, the middle-altitude big wall aid climber; and it even sports a few high-end rock routes. Some still come to try to free some of the old aid routes here. Most adventures involve most of a day to a multi-day affair.
The peak itself consists of a variety of different subsections for which it may be more helpful to reorganize. There is the vertical arena of the Diamond, the Lower East Face, The Upper East Face, Chasm View Wall, the North Face-Ridge, The Southern Ridge(s), the West Face, Ship's Prow, Keyboard of the Winds, & The Palisades.
A hike up to the eastern cirque of Long's is probably one of the more scenic hikes in the Front Range – I’m told…
Some digital effects were applied to this original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition. Ordered images will not contain the FAA watermark.
