Twin Lakes (Wenatchee) — Wednesday, Jul. 12, 2000

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - West

Not sure of the trail # (not on my Green Trails) but I hiked the Twin Lakes trail that leaves from Napeequa Crossing CG off the White River, Wenatchee Lake Ranger District. Trail is about 3.5 miles to the first lake, another 0.7 to the second. This trail was more interesting and varied than I expected, a smooth tread in most places, beautiful forests, pretty creeks, and a few nice views. Trail is in great condition to the first lake. The trail around it to the second much larger lake desperately needs brushing - somebody could do wonders with just a small saw as a lot of the mess is young 1"" trees bent over the trail and in places you can almost lose the trail. Several logs as well. Trail ends at the 2nd lake near an old FS service cabin. Mosquitoes were out but reasonable (worst place was at the trailhead). No snow in sight as this is a relatively low elevation hike (2000-2800 ft). Only apparent campsite on the whole trail is at the FS cabin.
