Twin Twice on the Devil's Path

This out-and-back adventure is a scramblers delight! Also attractive for peak seekers and aspiring All Trails Challengers. From Roaring Kill we will ascend to Dibbles Quarry, Pecoy Notch, and Twin Mountain with its great views. We will then descend into Jimmy Dolan Notch and enjoy its view. Retracing our steps up Twin, we will enjoy these scrambles from a different point of view. Our pace will be moderate, though we will go slower and with extra care on the rocky sections. On our descent we will enjoy a quarry seat and view on our way back with fellow hikers. All told, we will cover 7.8 miles and be outside for eight hours.
