The Twin Range offers a chance to enjoy above-treeline hiking in the Whites without being as crowded as the Presidential or Franconia ranges, thanks to a paucity of roads bordering the Pemigewasset Wilderness where most of its peaks are situated.

The Appalachian Trail passes across the Twin Range from Garfield to Zeacliff.

Other trails connect the other peaks to the A.T. and to roads to the north and south.
