Twin Peaks Trail is a short, easy loop in Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, within the Salt Lake Ranger District. The trail is about 0.24 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 49 feet, and it makes a quick addition to a day spent exploring the surrounding network of trails. The route is a loop that starts and ends at nearly the same point, with the high point at 6,290 feet and the low at 6,213 feet. It is an easy outing that takes about half an hour to complete. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 78°F, while July and August climb into the upper 80s. That station sits roughly 950 feet below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Several other trails lie close by. Black Mountain Trail and Terror Ridge Trail are each about 0.1 mile away, and Twin Peaks Connect is about 0.3 mile off. Climbers can find the Bouldering area about 1.3 miles away.
