Creek is a good whitewater spot nearby. Good hiking is available along the South Pine Creek Trail, and there are other places here than Twin Lakes, for example Lake Claire. Twin Lakes is a location that is relatively arid ordinarily;
the month of August is the wettest with most of the rain, and October on the other hand is the driest. But wait, there's more exciting stuff to do in the Sawatch Range. You'll never forgive yourself if you don’t go skiing at Ski Cooper
while you're here; don't leave Twin Lakes without first going for a hike along the Horn Fork Trail. You can never get enough of the magnificent skiing at Monarch. Twin Lakes is located in the Sawatch Range. Why not camp at Hughes
Meadow Campground since you're here at Twin Lakes, and Emerald Peak is a peak you can catch a sight of from Twin Lakes.
