Description
Twin Lakes is an intermediate stop along the Sheep Lake Trail. The Sheep Lake Trail #389 trailhead is well marked and within easy hiking distance of Brooklyn Lake Campground. The hike starts in an alpine meadow but soon enters a forest of subalpine spruce. You'll hike past many pot hole lakes and cross a small stream before leaving the woods and returning back to grassy alpine meadow. The trail can be muddy and, in places, it is rocky, but all-in-all this is an easy hike.
