Twin Lakes and Mirror Lake, WA

There are several Twin Lakes in the Snoqualmie Pass area of western Washington. The Twin Lakes we went to is situated between Mt. Catherine, Tinkham Peak and Silver Peak. The lakes are a short 0.8 mile hike from Road 9070. At this time of year (August 31, 2002) the lakes seemed to have very low water levels. Mirror Lake is about 2.5 miles south of Twin Lakes near Tinkham Peak. The trail from Twin Lakes climbs 1400 feet to a ridge at the base of Tinkham Peak and then descends 300 feet to Mirror Lake.
