Evil Twin is a mountain biking route in Oregon, about 3.7 miles from the town of Seaside. It is a short out-and-back ride of about 1.1 miles, with a total elevation gain of 1,211 feet. The climb is steep, with the steepest section at about 0.29 miles in, where the grade reaches 45 percent. The route is rated expert, so it is best suited for riders with experience on technical terrain. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Seaside show July and August highs around 65 to 66°F, with only about seven wet days a month. That station sits well below the route, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. Several other outings lie within a few miles. Wetland Walk is about 2.4 miles away, and the Lewis and Clark Discovery Trail - Oregon Coast Trail is about 3.9 miles away. Paddlers can head to the South Fork Necanicum River, about 5 miles off, and climbers will find Cannon Beach about 7.2 miles away.
