Situated at the northern end of the Front Range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, Longs Peak casts an imposing shadow over its surroundings.
Rising to 14,259 feet above sea level, Longs Peak is the northernmost 14er and the highest peak in Rocky Mountain National Park. It is also one of the tallest mountains in Colorado that you can climb without needing any technical equipment of know-how.
Our adventure begins on the afternoon of the first day. We will meet up at the trailhead and begin hiking through alpine forest until we reach the tree line. Above this is the alpine tundra and after a bit more hiking, we will set up camp and try to turn in early.
The next morning, we will get an early start, continuing through the alpine tundra until we cross to the north side of the mountain. From here, we will enjoy our first truly spectacular views out over the rest of the Rockies.
We will then begin to make a non-technical ascent up to the summit, where we will enjoy 360-degree panoramic views out over the surroundings.
After enjoying our lunch at the summit, we will make our way back down and pack up the camp and return to the trailhead.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for this incredibly scenic and exciting 2-day ascent of Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
