Which iconic Colorado mountain is a popular “fourteener” for climbers?
Note
Longs Peak, located in Rocky Mountain National Park, is a challenging and popular "fourteener" (mountain exceeding 14,000 feet in elevation) for climbers in Colorado.
Longs Peak, standing at 14,259 feet (4,346 meters), is a prominent peak in Rocky Mountain National Park and a popular destination for experienced climbers. Its challenging routes and exposed summit make it a sought-after "fourteener" to conquer. While Mount Rainier is in Washington, Mount Whitney is in California, and Mount Shasta is also in California, Longs Peak is a distinctly Colorado Rockies peak.
