Twin Peaks is a short, back-loaded out-and-back mountain biking climb in Washington, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The route is about 0.68 miles long, with a low point of 1,444 feet and a high of 1,512 feet, and the steepest stretch comes early, at about 12% grade. 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 peaks, so temperatures up high run cooler. Several other mountain biking routes lie close by, including C-8260 about 0.3 miles away and Slide and Divide Trail South each about 0.4 miles away. For paddling, North Fork Porter Creek is about 3.5 miles off.
