Estes Cone

Trail Description
From the plains to the dramatic East Face Diamond of Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park, the views are yours for the enjoyment from the summit of the Estes Cone, but it will take some effort to get there. The first 2/3 of the hike are pleasant, passing by the remains of an old mine and through Moore Park. The trail begins to climb up Storm Pass with the last 1/2 mile best described as steep and rocky with breathtaking views.

How to Get There
From Estes Park, travel south on St Hwy 7 for 9.5 miles to the Longs Peak Campground and Trailhead.
