Day Trips: 

A group of hikers climbs up a long scree field in Rocky Mountain National ParkOur single-day guided Longs Peak hike begins bright and early at 2 a.m. when clients will typically meet their guide at our Estes Park fly shop and outdoor store. To ensure your safety, it is crucial to leave at an early hour. Reaching the summit of Longs Peak before the afternoon thunderstorms will give you the best views and experience.  As you are hiking up Longs, you can look out over the Chasm Lake turnoff and view the city lights of the Front Range. 

From here you will continue on to the Boulder Field and the Keyhole. The Keyhole overlooks the back side of Longs, and is your passage to the long trek up the summit. Once through the Keyhole you will ascend to the summit of Longs Peak. Though there are only two miles left after the Keyhole,  this is the most difficult part. 

The reward of summiting Longs Peak is certainly worth it, when you stand at 14,259 ft and take in the most spectacular views of RMNP, the Estes Park Valley, and the Colorado Front Range!
