We hiked from the Twin Sisters Trailhead at 9,040 feet (2,755 meters) to the north summit at 11,428 feet (3,483 meters), for an elevation difference of 2,388 feet (728 meters). The distance traveled was 3.7 miles (5.95 km), and it took about 1.5 hours (90 minutes). The view of Longs Peak is spectacular.

After a night of stargazing at the Moraine Park Campground, we started at the Bear Lake parking lot and hiked down to the Glacier Gorge Trail then up to The Loch, scrambled up the rock near Timberline Falls, and stopped at Lake of Glass thinking it was Sky Pond, before turning around.
