We decided that we wanted to snag one more mountain before heading home. Our bodies were all a bit fatigued from the last two days of hiking, but our will was too strong to let us go home just yet. While looking for the next mountain we came across Twin Sisters and thought that an elevation gain of 2,428 feet in just 3.7 miles of hiking would be a nice challenge. 3.7 miles of course was one way.
The mountain had a nice incline the whole way up, but this did not keep us from owning this mountain in no time. After taking a few dozen pictures and a few water breaks, we made it to the top in just ____________ minutes.
