What a face!

[ccd333]

This is a good portion of the east face of Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park. Part of the face is also known as "The Diamond", a section of sheer wall over 1500 feet. I took this shot this morning from the Chasm Lake Trail.

Cool photo. Would have been a nice panorama.
I am in Maine but taking a cross-country trip this summer; can't wait to see (and photograph) the Rockies.

Your photos are always awesome. I'd love it if you went back and took a picture at that river again in spring.

That sure is a craggy face! :mrgreen:


Nice. It makes me want to take up mountain climbing again!

Thanks, everyone. Elsaspet....do you mean the one right near the bank with snowy rocks in the foreground?
