This is my version of Long's Peak - as viewed from East Longmont. I based it on a photograph taken by my friend and photog Don Davis. Longs Peak is one of the 54 "fourteeners" in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. It can be prominently seen from Longmont, Colorado, as well as from the rest of the Colorado Front Range . It is named after Major Stephen Long, who explored the area in the 1820s.
Longs Peak rises to 14,259 feet (4,346 m) above sea level. When taken with its neighbor Mount Meeker, they are sometimes referred to as the Twin Peaks .

As the only fourteener in Rocky Mountain National Park, the peak has long been of interest to climbers.
