To be honest, it's a bit disappointing that they haven't managed to install a decent summit cross or other special marker on Colorado's highest mountain. Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico are much better at that on their highest mountains.

The High Dune isn't the highest peak of the Great Sand Dunes, but the view is breathtaking. The effort to tackle the sometimes steep sections is worth it. Plenty of water is recommended, as it can get very hot and windy.

Hiking up the dune is a wonderful experience, but you should be in good shape. It can be strenuous to climb the inclines in the loose sand. The view from the dune is magnificent; you can see in every direction.

Great trip! If you're not used to the elevation, give yourself time to acclimate. I only acclimated for about a week and had to take frequent breaks past tree line, but we'll worth the trip. Barr Trail is also a great trip. "Easier" but longer than this path. 10/10, especially for submitting one of Colorado's 14ers!

If you get up early, it's worth driving up the mountain in your own car. Where else can you drive up a four-thousand-meter peak?

… don’t expect green 🤩 but expect magnificent views … enjoy slowly leaving behind the city noise …

Longs Peak Trail is a great hike for anyone for the first 6 miles. There is beautiful, diverse terrain, and it can be exposed with sweeping views. Be aware that after about 6 miles, the trail becomes a scramble and more technical before reaching the summit of Longs Peak.
