West Twin Park was established to protect the rich wildlife values and the wide biogeoclimatic representation. Most of all, this park contains the only protected corridor across the Robson Valley trench. The area runs from the Cariboo Mountains in the south, through the main Robson Valley trench, and up the fronting ranges of the Rocky Mountains.

Wildlife
The wildlife values are extraordinary in this provincial park. There are mountain goats throughout the park, the lower sections are a wintering range for deer and moose, and there is high caribou habitat in certain areas. The main valley trench provides a caribou corridor as well as connectivity between the ranges for many other species. grizzly bear densities are high throughout the park. The lower West Twin Creek is an important spawning area for chinook salmon.
