Twin Forks Park and Ride in Conifer at 6am

This will be two hikes. They are close to each other but do not share a trailhead. It will be more efficient to drive to each trailhead. Observatory Rock is about 4 miles and 1000 gain and Eagle Rock is about 1.5 miles and 700 gain. These are both really rock and neat looking summits near Tarryall Reservoir. There will be some class 2+/3 scrambling to attain the summit blocks. 

These hikes/peaks are profiled in Gerry Roach's Lost Creek Wilderness hiking book.
