Avenue Twin Peaks Trail Description
The Avenue Twin Peaks Trail is a beautiful, moderately challenging trail. Hikers and mountain bikers share this route, so stay aware of your surroundings and allow folks on two wheels to zip past you. This trail is a very popular dog-walking route; remember that dogs must be kept on leash for the duration of your hike, and please pick up after your pooch. The Avenue Twin Peaks Trail has just under 1000 feet of elevation, so it will leave your legs burning, but we promise that the views from the top are worth it. You will have incredible views of Salt Lake City stretching far and wide in the valley below from the Twin Peaks.
From the Terrace Trailhead, follow the northeast along the Twin Peaks trail. This route is part of an extensive trail network so keep your eye out for the signage along the way that points you in the right direction.
At the top, take a moment to catch your breath and snap some pics of the City below before turning around and following the same route back to the trailhead.
