Topographic Architecture of Longs Peak

Longs Peak is the undisputed monarch of northern Colorado's Front Range, rising to an elevation of 4,346 metres as the only fourteen-thousand-foot mountain in Rocky Mountain National Park. Celebrated worldwide for its sheer 1,000-foot vertical granite East Face known as 'The Diamond', Longs Peak stands as an enduring monument to early Rocky Mountain exploration, alpine endurance, and the birth of American wilderness conservation.

Geographical & Glacial Context: Situated along the Continental Divide in northern Colorado forty miles northwest of Denver, Longs Peak is visible across the Great Plains for over a hundred miles. Its broad tabletop summit is surrounded by precipitous cliffs plunging into Chasm Lake cirque, and is traversed by the classic Keyhole Route through the Boulderfield, the Ledges, the Trough, the Narrows, and the sheer Homestretch.
