North Twin Summit
|
The
hike up North Twin was long, but not difficult. We even saw a deer
on the trail not to far from the trailhead. The worst part of the
hike were the 3 river crossings. We needed to find a way to hop
from rock to rock to get across the river. After the third crossing
the trail became steeper until we finally made it to the summit.
|
At
the summit we found a ledge with some nice views towards Mt. Galehead
and the Franconia ridge. Unfortunately the clouds were rolling in
and soon covered up the view we had.

Before
we headed back down we went over to South Twin. However when we
got there it began to rain and had to run back to treeline in case
of lightning. By the time we made it back to North Twin the rain
let up and we had a soggy hike back to the car.
