Overview

This is a moderate out and back trail to Twin Peaks in Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit.

A graded ascent all along, with easy switchbacks. The use trail to the summit was only marked by a duck - there used to be a sign and it was was not there in June 2020. The scramble is straighforward, and not too much flat space on top. On June 20, the ranges to the south and south-west were still nicely snowy. There were many snow patches on the trails, all easily passable. Lots of running water in the mid-hike. Dog-friendly.

Getting Started

The parking area is rather spacious and shaded, with a pit toilet and picknic tables. Map and signs are clearly displayed. One week after the Barker Pass Rd was opened in June, it was in a very good condition all the way to the TH.
