Longs Peak, Summit in Rocky Mountain National Park, United States.
Longs Peak rises to 4,345 meters, featuring steep cliffs, narrow ledges, and a distinct flat-topped profile visible throughout the national park.
The mountain received its name from Major Stephen Long, who conducted geographical surveys of the Colorado Territory during the 1820s.
The Keyhole Route, stretching across boulder fields and exposed rock faces, represents a significant challenge for mountaineers seeking to reach the summit.
Climbers need to begin their ascent before sunrise, carry proper winter gear, and monitor weather conditions as afternoon storms occur frequently.
This mountain stands as the sole peak above 4,000 meters within Rocky Mountain National Park, with views extending across Colorado's Front Range.
