Sitting on this porch you appreciate the accuracy of Isabella Bird's remarks in A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains (1881):
'And all the beauty and glory are but the frame out of which rises - heaven-piercing, pure in its pearly luster, as glorious a mountain as the sun tinges red in either hemisphere - the splintered, pinnacled, lonely, ghastly imposing, double-peaked summit of Longs Peak, the Mont Blanc of Northern Colorado.'
