Got the rare chance to hike with some company as I was joined by my brother today to hike North Twin. In the excitement of outfitting him with all types of my gear I pulled the ultimate bonehead move and forgot my boots at home. I didn't realize this until we were at the trailhead, so I was forced to hike in my floppy old New Balance 575s with holes in them. While I wasn't happy about it, I enjoyed having lighter feet on the ascent, and we cruised to the top reaching the summit in less than two hours (including breaks).
What a great hike this is. The trail has great footing, is pleasantly graded, and features marvelous scenery just about the entire way. I just enjoyed myself tremendously today, and it was great chatting it up with my brother. The Little River crossings were beautiful, interesting, and seem like they would be challenging in high water. The hike along the river is spectacular- there are a number of interesting glacial erratics and along one stretch of trail you feel "tucked in" to a "corridor" between the Little River and a great stretch of rock. Also got in a bit of impromptu bouldering at the lookout at the false summit. Today was a good day.
