Twin Peaks is 8,878 feet above sea level. The top has rewarding views of the Desolation Wilderness, Lake Tahoe, and the Granite Chief Wilderness. To get to the tippy top, there is some scrambling involved, but from the base of the peak area, the views are just as nice. If you choose to go to the tippy top, use caution and good judgment.
