Come one, come all! Enjoy the last of the fall colors with a hike up Payne Mountain at Twin Valleys. This is a new trail that leads to a gorgeous open summit with views of Lake Champlain as well as the High Peaks. The elevation gain is around 800 feet. The hike is fairly moderate and not too steep, making the summit's views even more remarkable. This is a moderately challenging hike.

Meet at the trailhead at 9:45 am for a 10:00 am start. This hike should take about 3 hours.

Dress in good layers for hiking, hiking shoes, and bring snacks and plenty of water.

Twin Valleys is located about 40 miles south of the SUNY Plattsburgh campus between Lewis and Westport, N.Y. Take I-87 to 95 Twin Valley Lane, Westport, N.Y. 12993.
