Conservancy Supports Longs Peak Trail Work in 2020
The park is moving forward with plans to refurbish the popular ascent trail on the Longs Peak trail, Colorado Front Range’s most prominent 14’er. Technical rock work is planned on this iconic trail to support a large volume of visitor usage, custodial operations and SAR operations – and help protect the sensitive tundra ecosystem.
This first season is part of a multi-year project to refurbish the trails on the mountain above tree line.

The RMNP Trails crew hopes the improvements will not only provide users with a better outdoor experience, but guide hikers through the landscape in a more sustainable way.
