A great out and back up Twin Sisters Peak, this hike is located in Estes Park, Colorado near Rocky Mountain National Park. You\u2019ll get incredible views of the area and a double peak at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Twin Sisters Trail starts out across Route 7 from Lily Lake. It takes you into the evergreens, through a few switchbacks, and eventually opens up to panoramic views of the area and an outstanding look at Longs Peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The view from the mountaintop is gorgeous. The Twin Sisters name really does refer to a double peak each separated by a little valley of gravel and scree from the other on the top. I\u2019m guessing some people feed the wildlife up there, because I met an overly inquisitive chipmunk that came out of the rock. Keep your backpack zipped, if you don\u2019t want to transport a new travelling companion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At around 7 miles, Twin Sisters is a fantastic choice, if you just want to go for a morning or afternoon hike. Just north of Boulder, Colorado, the trail is easily accessible and there is enough parking near the trailhead. View a map of the trail<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
