科罗拉多州的53座“十四座山”之一——超过14000英尺的山脉——朗斯峰仍然能够达到14259英尺的高度,比落基山脉国家公园的任何其他山脉都要高。每年都有数千名登山者出发尝试登顶。一些登山者会在一生中努力攀登美国每十四座山峰的顶峰——那是96座不同的山峰。

One of the 53 ‘fourteeners’ in Colorado – mountains that exceed 14,000 feet – Longs Peak still manages to reach higher into the heavens than any other mountain in Rocky Mountain National Park at 14,259 feet. Thousands of climbers set off every year to attempt the summit. Some climbers will try to reach the peak of every fourteener in the US during their lifetimes — that’s 96 different mountains.
