Trip
Hiking – Twin Sisters and South Sister
We'll hike up the West Sister of Twin Sisters in Rocky Mountain National Park (just a portion of the Route/Place.) Requires an easy scramble to the rocky summit. Beautiful views of Longs/Meeker and much of RMNP's east side.

We'll meet in the larger parking lot east of Lily Lake on Hwy 7 south of Estes Park. If the gate is still open, we'll carpool up to the Twin Sisters trailhead. If not, we'll start hiking from the lot, which will add about a half-mile to each end of the hike. Meeting time will be communicated by email on Tuesday night.
The title for this hike is not correct - we'll hike up the West Sister only (unless everyone in the group wants to go further when we get there. That extension would be exploratory since the leader hasn't hiked it before.)
Required Equipment
Ten essentials.
Warm clothing layers - the summit could be windy.
