Point to Point
Twin Creeks trail is a pleasant, short hike that is both easy and great for all ages. Hiking along this trail, there's a creek on the left known as LeConte Creek. If you've been to Rainbow Falls before (seen on the Rainbow Falls Trail), this is where the water came from. Hikers can either park a car at the Ogle Place Parking area, or hike to the end of the trail and back for a total of about 4 miles.
Soon, hikers will find the remains of an old homesite. There are still foundations and walls standing there, a testament to time from long ago.
About 1.5 miles in is a small footbridge that crosses a creek. At 1.9 miles, the trail comes to an end (hikers can take a small loop trail known as the Noah Bud Ogle Place Nature Trail).
