Description

The Diamond of the Front Range of Colorado! Rising 14,259 feet above sea level, Longs Peak dominates the skyline over Boulder and Estes Park. Spectacular climbing and hiking high at altitude make climbing this mountain a challenging endeavor, but one you will always remember! The 1,000 foot world-famous Diamond face is home to difficult Colorado classics such as the "Casual Route", while easier climbing and hiking routes take a more scenic approach to the mountain. Expect to hike at least 9 miles with close to 5,000 feet of elevation gain through difficult and strenuous terrain to reach the top.

​
