Twin Peaks is a short, out-and-back mountain biking climb in Washington, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The route is about 1.6 miles long, with a low point at 650 feet and a high point at 879 feet, giving it a total elevation gain of about 221 feet. The steepest stretch comes early, at about 0.2 miles in, with a grade of about 13 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Olympia show July and August highs around 78°F with only about five wet days a month, while winter brings highs in the mid-40s and rain on roughly 20 days a month. That station sits well below the climb, so temperatures on the peak run cooler. Several other mountain biking routes lie close by, including 30 Inmates about 0.1 mile away and C-8220 about 0.3 mile away. For paddling, Sherman Creek is about 3.4 miles off and the Black River about 5.4 miles away.
