Twin mountain

Back in June me and two friends set out to hike 4,000 feet up to the summit of Twin Mountain. It was a 9 mile hike to the top and of course 9 miles back. We left Long Island as the sun rose and drove 4 hours into the heart of the Catskills in upstate New York. We started hiking by 10 o'clock and after 5 hours reached the peak. The hike was grueling with a 2,000 foot elevation gain in under 2 miles but the view waiting for us was well worth it. We had lunch and hung out on what seemed like the top of the world for hours admiring how beautiful the world surrounding us was.
