Twin Lakes (Wenatchee) — Thursday, Jun. 23, 2022

Short version: bug spray, gps, sunscreen. Road to trailhead great. Trail itself in great shape with only a few felled trees. Following trail at river can be difficult, water is fairly high. Lots of foliage around lake.

Long version: Wednesday around noon, hit trailhead on a gorgeous day. Two of us and a small (but feisty) dog. Trailhead only had one other car, and there was still plenty of parking. Bring bug spray, the bugs weren’t afraid to show themselves today. Biggest challenge was navigating the river crossings with the small dog who isn’t a great swimmer. Required use of the downloaded map multiple times during the water crossings. There are some places to shimmy across logs, but you can also just get one deep in water if you prefer (but the current was too strong for us today). The trail followed the river from here, going uphill to a small swamp smelling area. Pushing past the foliage, there is a lovely lake. Vegetation is very overgrown but there are a few spots around to take a rest. Hard to reach the water though. Trail becomes even more overgrown going up to second lake, so we skipped it. Way back was a breeze, stop at the fork near the trailhead to a quick vista.
