10.17 miles of hiking • 1000' elevation gain •
We hiked to lower twin lake, then to upper twin lake. Both lakes had a bit of ice on them. We then proceeded to Palmateer Point and then took the cut off trail to junction with the PCT and returned by the PCT. The only people we encountered were on the trail around the lower twin lake. There was no snow at Palmateer Butte and only a few small patches on the PCT.
