At just below 9000' in elevation, Twin Lakes are located high in the Sawtooth Mountains of central Idaho. These two lakes which are separated by a thin isthmus of land are surrounded by a veritable cathedral of rocky spires, cliffs and talus fields. The lakes are accessed from a trailhead out of Pettit Lake. The trail from Pettit climbs about 1800' for roughly 6.5 miles through meadows, creeks, boulder fields and switchbacks that allow the adventurer spectacular views of the Sawtooth and Whitecloud Mountains.
