Twin Peaks is a short mountain biking route in Washington, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits about 0.2 miles from the start point, with the low point at 1,203 feet and the high at 1,443 feet. The climb is an out-and-back of about 0.46 miles, with a total gain of 648 feet. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.18 miles in, with a grade of 31 percent. That makes it a quick, steep ride rather than a long one. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. 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 20 days a month. That station sits well below the route, so temperatures on the peaks run cooler. Several other mountain biking routes lie close by, including C-8260 and Slide, each about 0.2 miles away, and C-8220 at 0.3 miles. For paddling, Sherman Creek is about 3.7 miles away.
