About this Event
Our attempts to hike Twin Sisters in Rocky Mountain National Park was thwarted two weeks in a row due to inclement weather and severe high winds, so for this hike I won't be announcing the trail until a couple of days ahead of time. Expect the trail of choice to be moderate to strenuous & equipment required will be microspikes and possibly snowshoes.
I am hoping to do a trail in RMNP, so start time will be early because parking fills up fast on weekends.
