structure?What is the stone building, a ranger station or shelter hut? I have never been on Longs Peak.

Re: structure?Hey SLS,
Like the little stone structure on the summit of Mt. Whitney, this shelter at the Keyhold of Longs is infamous for acting as a lightening magnet when folks caught in storms seek shelter inside. At this point, I believe its purpose is mostly of an historic nature.
PS: Get yourself up Longs Peak via the Keyhole Route. It is a fantastic (albeit very social) alpine experience!
