Summer conditions have finally taken hold on Longs Peak. The trails are entirely snow free to both Chasm Lake and the Boulderfield, and the major summer summit routes can be navigated with no snow travel, including the Keyhole. The Loft/Clark’s Arrow has a larger snow patch towards the top, but this can also be avoided with some route-finding. Across the upper mountain small ice and snow patches remain in places, and running water exists in several locations as well, creating slippery rock, and still warranting caution and careful travel. Monsoon season is fully upon us, and afternoon thunderstorms will remain a real threat for the remainder of the summer season. Returning to treeline by noon is prudent to help mitigate exposure to lightning storms. |
