November 10th - Twin Sisters
The Twin Sisters is a classic shoulder season hike. Not so high up that you are exposed, but exquisite views to the west. The summit of Longs Peak is only five miles away.
All in all, it makes a wonderful late Fall hike.
Though the hike is almost 8 miles round trip and a little over 2400' elev gain, the gradually graded trail makes the hike seem very moderate.
There is not too much to say. We had an excellent group of six people (Stephenie, Bryce, Emily, Jesse, Nahum and myself), enjoyable weather (if a little windy on top) and the great views I expected.
Afterwards Nahum, his wife Patricia and myself headed over to the Zapins to enjoy a wonderful meal. Only six more weeks until the Aravs move to Blacksburg. :( We'll just have to enjoy the time left that we have to play in Colorado!
