My family is having a reunion in Estes Park, CO the first week in August. My dad has hiked Long’s several times, and will probably attempt it again that week. I’d like to try it too. I hike a lot in the Appalachians but I’m still not in great shape. The longest hike I’ve done in a day is 14 miles, and Long’s is 8 miles one way with a 5000-ft elevation gain.
Can I get in shape for Long’s in just about 8 weeks? What should I do? Hike? Run? Hit the gym? All of the above?
… 3000 ft.?
I live at elevation 5000 ft. in So. Cal. I see a “gigantic hill” outside my back yard … maybe 3000 ft. f/ the base. The only trees are on the top. My friends can watch me as I travel.
I’m in good shape.
I feel sorry for the men and their three families but climbing a mountain in December? Like, duh! Millions of dollars that could have gone toward something like medical research or to foster homes for kids has been spent on three machos who thought they could outsmart Mother Nature. It’s really a shame.
