Sweet Jesus, our tent happened to be set at 9,000' elevation and we slept like champions, probably due to the oxygen deprivation. But we managed to get up and meet a deer walking through our site with little care. At 9:30 we started hiking up the Twin Sisters Trail with overloaded packs and a serious lack of a map.
After 30 minutes our breathing adjusted and made it to the 11,430' summit in about 2 hours. The view was awesome. We tried eating pasta on the peak, but an overly aggressive marmot made an attempt at our meal so we started the hike down. It was mildly humbling passing seven-year-old girls hiking in crocks while we had our hardcore gear packed full.
