The Twin Peaks are a pair of mountain high points located on the Cottonwood Ridge within the Wasatch Range in Salt Lake County, Utah. They are usually referred to as the Broads Fork Twin Peaks, to distinguish them from the nearby American Fork Twin Peaks and Avenues Twin Peaks. Consisting of two sub-peaks, only the eastern peak has the prominence to be considered a true summit, with an elevation of 11330feet,[2] 2 feet higher than the western subpeak. The eastern peak is the second-highest in Salt Lake County, only behind the nearby American Fork Twins. The Twin Peaks rise directly from the Salt Lake Valley, making them easily visible and recognizable.
