Twin Mountain South

"I joined Peter, Mimi, Barbara and Sherri for a saunter over the the four peaks of the eastern Devils Path. With temps down to the single digits the ice on the trail was a bit harder which showed the difference between Hillsounds and Kahtoolahs. Sherri, the only one of us using Kahtoolahs, quickly decided a pr of Hillsound trail crampons would be her next gear purchase. Beautiful sunny day allowed for great views and a wonderful hike." — Nimblefoot • Jan 8, 2022

"Paired with Indian Head with Chris and Tina. A beautiful sunny day! Mud and streams in lower sections. In and out of the woods. Icy sections near the top. Great views of Ashokan Reservoir and Blackdome Range Trail." — lfrancois • Dec 12, 2021

"Completed two more Catskill 3500 peaks today with Indian Head and Twin Mountains. It was another gorgeous day filled with bluebird skies, empty trails, fresh air, and the smell of trees. A crisp 29 degrees to start. Fall will always be my favorite time to hike. This morning I spent a lot of time thinking about my son Wyatt on this the 8 year anniversary of his Type 1 diabetes diagnosis and his strength which is more than physical, some tears were shed. This was another solo venture. The only one to push yourself is you alone, again something I reflected on today and looked back on through the years. " — scottturner • Nov 4, 2021

"Ed and I did a fairly quick hike of Indian Head and Twin before the day hotted up too much. Being in the shade of the trees and the occasional breeze helped out. During a nice chat with Pete Senterman, who lives next to the Prediger rd PA, we learned that Platte Clove road was open so that made for a shorter ride home. Temp gauge in the car reached 97* on the Thru-way.....phew!" — Nimblefoot • Jun 7, 2021

"Five of us did the DP-4 traverse. The light coating of snow made the trail a bit slippery in the morning but soon melted as the temps returned to more spring-like. Numerous hikers and backpackers hitting the DP, felt like Memorial Day weekend rather than 1st of May." — Nimblefoot • May 1, 2021

"An easy day of just Indian Head and Twin for me to finish my single season winter round and Mimi to get down to her last two peaks. Lunch at Mama’s Boy where I was able to trade in my fully punched frequent flyer card to receive my free burger. Snowshoes just took a ride on the back of our packs as we were able to climb with just micro spikes on the well packed trails." — Nimblefoot • Mar 6, 2021

"A nice winter hike to start off the season. Very little snow in Jimmy Dolan Notch making for a fairly easy climb to the junction, lots of ice once heading up Indian head and Twin." — deb-and-rob • Dec 28, 2020

"Devils Path 4 for a single season Fall. Two separate hikes and getting dry trail, wet sections and ice on rocks and board walks. Nothing like sinking your blown out trail runners into pockets of chilly water to keep your feet from overheating while just hiking. " — Nimblefoot • Nov 16, 2020

"Quick hike of the Blackhead Range for August then over to Prediger road for a quick hike of Twin and Indian Head. The Jimmy Dolan Notch trail was very wet and muddy after the big storm last week making it a wonderful approach to IH and Twin especially when you get to do it twice." — Nimblefoot • Aug 11, 2020

"An out & back to Twin and Indian Head from Prediger road then relocate car to Mink Hollow and do Plateau and Sugarloaf. Temperatures were fine but the humidity was up so quite the sweat-fest. Finishes July the 7th month completed for my third 420 grid." — Nimblefoot • Jul 21, 2020
