Twin Lakes, lower Access

Twin Lakes Lower Access is a trailhead in Eldorado National Forest that provides entry to Desolation Wilderness and access to multiple alpine lakes including Twin Lakes, Boomerang Lake, and Island Lake.

The trailhead requires a $10 day-use parking fee and a valid Desolation Wilderness permit for entry; note that the parking area is notoriously small, so overflow parking is available about one mile away at Wrights Lake.

Restrooms are available at the site, and the well-maintained trail is suitable for both day hikes (3-5 hours) and overnight backpacking trips.
