The weather last Friday was near-perfect for a hike to the summit of 11,427-foot Twin Sisters Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park. Thanks to the forecast guidance provided by SummitCAST, our team was able to squeeze in a fun late-March excursion with no concerns about ugly weather. Twin Sisters is just one of many lower elevation hikes coming soon to SummitCAST. We review the weather from our recent hike and update you on the status of SummitCAST development.
