From my back porch, Longs Peak dominates the horizon, the highest point of Rocky Mountain National Park and a daily reminder of my geographic good fortune. Its tooth-shaped pinnacle soars beyond the surrounding summits, often gleaming with snow and painted peach with alpenglow. In the early days of closures and event cancellations related to the new coronavirus, I looked to Longs Peak as I always had — that is, as a visible piece of the wilderness to which any of us could escape whenever we wanted. In those initial, innocent days, just after canceling an April trip to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and a late-spring float through Dinosaur National Monument, I thought about taking the family camping to Rocky Mountain National Park or somewhere nearby.
