Twin Lakes District

Lake County

The district is one of the best remaining examples of a mountain village of the late 1800s.  Nearly all of the buildings are of log construction, have gabled roofs, and date from the last two decades of the 19th century.

Much of the village’s charm is derived from its mountain setting near the foot of Mt. Elbert and the numerous groves of aspen and fir trees.
