Above the Trees: Reaching Twin Sisters Peaks in Winter

[@iheartcolorado9311]

Erik, I really enjoy your content. I lived and Estes Park for several years in the mid to late 90s and I used to hike multiple times a week in Rocky Mountain National Park and the surrounding area. Unfortunately now I only visit but I must say you look like an incredibly fast hiker.!

[@ErikStensland]

Thanks for watching. Sounds like you know Rocky quite well. As for my hiking, you’re not the first to mention my pace. Whenever I hike with someone else, they quickly remind me that I don’t hike like a normal person. 😄

Magnificent! 🤩

Thanks Wendy! :)

[@BonnieRavesloot]

Thank you for taking me somewhere I've never been before in Rocky. Views are spectacular! I'm grateful for people like yourself who can do hikes like that!

[@ErikStensland]

Thanks Bonnie. Hope you enjoyed it.

Good Rocky Mountain High stuff, savor is right and the mountains do influence perspective, positivity.

[@ErikStensland]

Thanks Allen!

What a stunning day, so high with no winds! I loved the old knarled trees with round pines balls. Have never seen that, just loved it. Thank you and I hope you have a Merry Christmas!

Thank you for sharing. I miss my days in RMNP

[@ErikStensland]

It's a special place, isn't it?

[@gregroberts875]

Great video Erik..That is one hike I would like to do. I think during Milky Way season, I may be able to get a good shot of the Milky Way with Long’s Peak in the background. Thanks so much for sharing..

[@ErikStensland]

Thanks Greg. Yes, in June it should be perfect for Milky Way photos over Longs Peak. I may need to do that as well!
