Hello hikers,

Our next hike is Sunday, July 19 – Larchmont/Twin Peaks summit. We will meet at 7:45 AM at Silverset Park and take a short hike to the Larchmont development, which is an example of destruction of native habitat. Then we will head up to the Twin Peaks summit. 

About this Hike:

Starting from Silverset Park we take a short 1/3-mile hike to the Larchmont development area. This part of the trail is not very steep, a bit narrow, and a bit rutted in places, but should be easy. We then turn back the way we came and take a steep trail up to the Twin Peaks summit - less than a mile but a 650’ elevation gain. We then head back the way we came. Our total hike is about 2 miles, although it will be slower going. The trip up to the summit can be a bit tiring, but it is a well-maintained trail with rocks place almost like stairs, and no erosion. There are nice views on this hike.

Note that there is another trail heading from the summit back down heading due south, but this is a rough trail that requires hiking over large boulders and rutted rock-strewn trails

Directions and Where to Meet: 

Silverset Park is located just off Twin Peaks Road. Take Twin Peaks Road to Silverset Street going north. The park is at the north end of Silverset Street. You can type 14795 Silverset St. into your map app to get there. We will meet in the parking lot.
