Sister Peak

About

The trail reaches an elevation of 10,288 feet (approximately 3,134 meters) and typically takes about two hours to complete. The route is suitable for fall hiking, with the season running from September through November. This period offers opportunities to view aspen groves in orange, yellow, and red hues, particularly during mid-September. The trail is pet-friendly and has parking available at the trailhead. While the peak itself is described as a little rise rather than a major summit, it provides views of Ouray and connects to Twin Peaks. Hikers should expect potential snow and ice at this altitude during the fall season.
