Any summer, every summer, in Colorado needs a finale hike.
And we got ours :)
Dad watched the kids while Matt and I conquered Twin Sisters. The best part about this hike were the incredible views of Longs Peak (over my right shoulder). We hiked Longs 13 years ago!
I just love being on trails like these... especially early morning hikes with chilly starts and hopes of a summit before 10am.
A massive rain storm in 2013 caused this devastating landslide that took out part of the trail. It was staggering to see the amount of destruction caused! wow!
We ended up scrambling up the landslide, which was hard hiking. On the way back down we found a trail that skirted around the edge of the destruction, and at one point we cut straight through the middle of the landslide.

Pretty nice huh? Love hiking with Matt and love this great farewell hike! We love Colorado and we WILL BE BACK again!!!
