Twin Falls

Twin Falls is a great little 4 mile round trip close in with only 500' gain. Access via exit 34 off of I-90 is well signed all the way to the trailhead. The tread itself is broad and in good repair except for 3 blowdowns above the upper falls. The middle blowdown is tagged with an orange ribbon and the east blowdown is an easy step over. The west blowdown is 18-20 inches in diameter. People have been clambering around the root ball through the brush to get around it. Access to the lower falls is closed due to damage from falling trees.

In spite of being right next to the interstate with all the traffic noise, this trail does offer some nice highlights. A lot of work has gone into it in the past 10 years. There are the two waterfalls, a very impressive bridge over the river between them, many access spurs down to the water from the trail, benches to sit on, and several nice viewing spots. The trail comes out on the John Wayne trail just a few hundred feet from the beginning of the Mt. Washington trail.
