The camp sites near the top of Longs Peak in the Boulderfield are worth the long hike (6 miles up steep terrain). Falling asleep underneath a crystal clear sky filled with stars; then waking up to a sun peeking over the mountain range is inspiring. Bring a good sleeping bag and a tent you trust in high winds, as the wind will howl and shake your tent all night. Rent a bear canister from the Estes Park Mountain Store right outside of town, cheap ($3) and necessary. Bring a portable water filter, there will be mountain streams running all around you. There are two privies near the camp sites. Book in advance to ensure your place in the Boulderfield, reservations are often made months before. Watch the skies for bad weather, don't feed the marmots, and enjoy your adventure on Longs Peak Boulderfield!
