Today my girl and I drove up to Twin Lakes. I went there two years ago but had an old beater of a honda and had to walk the last to miles. This time i took my new Xterra and had no problem getting up to the lakes. The sun came out and it was awesome watching the fish jump in the upper lake. I eat a few berries which were well past their prime and walked up to Skagway Pass. It was more of a scouting trip to maybe go camping up there in a couple weekends if the weather holds. Great day and next time i will take my fishing pole. Road needed high clearence but not 4 wheel drive. A little water in once stream over roadway but not more then 2-4 inches deep. Beautiful camping spots near lower lake and good chankce of seening wildlife as the terrain is mostly meadows. Didn't see any animals today though, maybe if we go camping.

From Bellingham take exit 255 off of I-5 and drive east on Highway 542 (the Mount Baker Highway) to the town of Glacier, then continue east an additional 12.8 miles. At a highway maintenance shed there is a sign that says: "Tomyhoi Trail 5, Twin Lakes 7". Turn left onto the road, designated Road 3065. Drive 4.5 miles to the Tomyhoi Lake trail sign. At this point, the road is not ideal with a low clearance vehicle. Depending on your vehicle and your will, continue on to Twin Lakes.
