Aug 16, 2021 — As of 2021, Rocky Mountain National Park requires a pre-purchased permit to hike from any of its trailheads. Twin Sisters Peak can get quite popular so be sure to do so. The trailhead requires just parking on the shoulder of the dirt road leading to the start of the hike, no official parking lot. The trail is well-maintained and easy to follow. It begins on a humorously low grade, slowly making its way through the forest via wide switchbacks. After wrapping around the northwestern base of Twin Sisters Peak, the trail got a bit steeper and made tighter switchbacks leading up to the northern ridge of the summit. The views became nice, especially toward Longs Peak. Some more nice forest walking and switchbacks brought us to treeline, where the well-constructed trail heads through talus up to the saddle of the Twin Sisters Peak's twin summits. We left the trail and ascended to the high point (eastern) on Class 2 talus before following the trail to the summit of the less-tall western summit. Nice views despite the wildfire haze.
