Hiking – RMNP - Longs Peak TH - Storm Peak

Storm Peak is the peak immediately to the west when you’re making your way through the Boulder Field on the way to the Keyhole and Longs Peak in RMNP.  This is considered a difficult hike because it is relatively long and has a lot of elevation gain.  Technically, according to the Summitpost writeup linked below, Storm Peak is a relatively easy mountain. Considering a good, well-maintained class-1 trail exists to within a quarter mile of its summit followed by an easy class-2 scramble
