This is a shot from the side on a climb up in Jurassic Park that shows a great view of Longs. I can't remember the climb at this time that we where on but will up date ASAP :)

The view of Long's Peak from Lily Lake. What a gorgeous setting.

Drones are illegal to fly inside NPS boundaries.

Here's a track of the alternate FS approach that avoids NPS land, as recorded on the US topo maps app. Not at all sustainable, but maybe pertinent (and helpful) to previous discussions.
