Twin Mountain
About
Twin Mountain is a summit in New York, rising to 3,646 feet about 4.7 miles from the town of Tannersville. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Platte Clove show July highs around 80°F and September highs near 72°F with lows in the upper 40s. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. The Pecoy Notch Trail starts just 0.4 miles away, and the Jimmy Dolan Notch Trail is 0.7 miles off. Devil's Path, a mountain biking route, is about 1.4 miles away, and the Mink Hollow Trail is about 1.8 miles away.
