About

Twin Peaks is a summit in Oxford County, Maine, rising to about 3,041 feet. The nearest town is Coburn Gore, roughly 10 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July highs reach about 75°F with lows near 53°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station at First Connecticut Lake, New Hampshire. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. Several trails lie close by. Sentier Frontalier 3 is about a mile away, and Sentier Frontalier 2 and Sentier Frontalier 1 are each within about 4 miles. Across the state line in New Hampshire, Piste d'Ascension is about 5 miles off.
