It's one of the highest mountain roads of Colorado!

North Twin Cone Peak actually has a fairly difficult 4WD road all the way to the summit. The view from the top is breathtaking. The trail is easy to follow since it’s a road, plus the gentle slopes on this hike are less prone to avalanche.

The majority of the hike is up a south-facing slope so you will get the benefit of the sun all day long. A long and strenuous day in the winter will emerge if your starting point is at the first gate. A suggestion is to try and make it the second gate to park, but this jaunt can also be daunting in the winter. If you prefer solitude, bypass the area after the spring snowmelt, since it’s a popular area for 4WD and ATV enthusiast. During the winter, you will have the entire area to yourself.
