The unincorporated community of Granite, Colorado, lies just outside of Twin Lakes. The hills are filled with mining history, and there are still full time residents who live in town.

If using the forest roads and trails, the best place to park is in the lot next to the bridge. There is an upper lot about half a mile down the unmaintained forest road, but it requires 4wd to get to.
