Twin Lakes Trail Head

Altitude: 2200 m, Elevation Gain; 420 m, Hiking Time: +/- 5hrs, Hiking Distance: 7.6 km. The first 1 km is very steep and it is a popular destination for backpackers and hikers. It also leads to the north end of the Mark Berger Traverse. At the first viewpoint of Twin Lakes that lie below in a cirque you will marvel at the vivid emerald and blue colours. Another set of trails heads towards Bolder Mtn. elevation +/- 2415m or +/- 7923 ft. and Neapolitan Mtn. elevation +/- 2400m or 7874 ft. The trails beyond Twin Lakes require skill as the trails become much more difficult.

Travel time: +/- 2hrs. From Vernon take Hwy 6 past Lumby for about 53 km past the Sugar Lake turn-off and turn left on North Fork Road. Go past the school and community hall then at about 6.5 km make a sharp left onto the North Fork Forest Service Road. Follow it for 14 km, following the signs as it switchbacks uphill until you reach the parking lot. This road is only passable for cars with good clearance.
