The Twin Peaks Trail leads to East Twin Pass, a ridge to the East of the Twin Peaks. The trail to the pass starts alongside Eklutna Lake, and begins by winding its way up several switch-backs along a forested mountainside.

Eventually, a bench is reached with a particularly good view of the lake. A short distance afterwards, the trail bends right and the peaks should come into view. The maintained trail ends when another bench is reached. There are two paths to choose at this point; take the left trail downhill to reach Twin Pass (the other trail goes right, up towards Pepper Peak).

The trail then crosses a shallow stream, after which it continues upwards again. There are several sheep trails which can be misleading; the trail continues strait up. Eventually the rocky pass is reached at the top. The ridge can then be followed to reach the eastern peak if desired (read below).

From either vantage point, one can see a great view of Pioneer Peak, Bold Peak, Matanuska Peak, the Matsu valley, and Eklutna lake.
