Soon we had bottomed-out at the South Twin-North Twin col and were heading up to North Twin's mostly forested summit. North Twin would be the last of the seven 4000-footer summits I would be completing on this backpack. After this, it was all down, down, down back to our ending trailhead.

The top of North Twin is thickly forested with 10-foot high conifers. We met Ewart here, just off the spur trail that leads to North Twin's only good summit viewpoint. I went over and had a look, confirming that our pesky clouds were still present. Still, I managed to snap off a few shots of the colorful leaves down in the low country.
