Two small ponds, mostly dry by summer, at the junction with Borges Ranch Trail. They fill again with the winter rains and last through spring and early summer. They are dry in late summer and fall.

Only when you come in winter, spring, or autumn, will you find two tiny ponds at this location. During summer, the Twin Ponds are dried out.

The two side-by-side ponds are named Twin Ponds, offering a delightful spot to observe and enjoy the area's beautiful brown-blue contrast between the water and the grassy surroundings. During winter, the ponds reach their fullest capacity.
