'Long's Peak, from Este's Park', 1874. View of Longs Peak in the Rocky Mountains, from Estes Park, Colorado, USA. 'Early in May we are far north, with a detachment of the Hayden expedition, encamped in the Estes Park, or Valley. Park, by-the-way, is used in these regions as a sort of variation on the sweeter-sounding word. The night is deepening as we pitch our tents. We are at the base of Long's Peak - about half-way between Denver City and the boundary-line of Wyoming - and can only dimly see its clear-cut out-line and graceful crests, as the last hues of sunset fade and depart'.
