My dad and I did the Boulder Field hike back in September of this year. What an exciting experience. There was a storm predicted for the night we stayed and the forecast was correct! We experienced 50-60mph gusts at night, snow, extremely cold temps and sleet. My tent was shredded by the winds and had to cram in with my dad in his. Ice formed on the inside of the tent and soaked our sleeping bags. We were layered up and had the proper gear, so we survived the ordeal. Coffee in the morning made everything better..haha. Three younger guys we met stayed in Boulder Field the same night. Due to strong winds and low viz, scrapped their plan to summit Long's and high tailed it off the mountain the next morning. We weren't too far behind. It was a learning experience for both my dad and I and made for some laughable memories. Next time we'll do the summit.

Windy and beautiful. Find a campground that has best protection from the wind, i,e, rock walls. The site right below the Keyhole and along the Keyhole route.

Great place to camp if you want to make the trek to the top of longs peak over 2 days. Just make sure you reserve your spot about a month in advance.

Longs Peak's premier bathroom stop! The stall door did not latch, but who doesn't enjoy a view with their morning routine?
