The sun started rising as I hit treeline.
Longs Peak in the distance.
Beautiful morning.
Closer to Longs Peaks.
Longs Peak on the far left, the Keyhole on the far right
The Keyhole, only a boulder field away!
Boulder field (those boulders are human-sized) before the Keyhole on the way to Longs Peak
The view after reaching the keyhole.
The fun scrambling begins, on the other side of the keyhole.
Looking back the way I came.
Looking back.
The Trough. It was a little icy and treacherous. Lots and lots of people seemed to be turning around here.
Looking back from the top of the Trough.
Cool textures seen from the top of the Trough.
Continuing to The Narrows.
Gorgeous view and fun scrambling.
The home stretch.
Longs Peak summit.
On the way back from Longs Peak, heading to Chasm Lake.
On the way to Chasm Lake.
Just up and over that ridge is Chasm Lake.
But of course, not without a gorgeous random waterfall. Because why not?
Chasm Lake.
My first Colorado 14er!
