Snoqualmie Falls

If you’re going to hike the trails, be prepared for a long walk. But what a walk it is. Being in the forest surrounding Snoqualmie Falls is spectacular and one trail leads you to a lower view of the falls that warns people not to go below the viewing deck because of the chance of flash flooding and slippery rocks, but who cares about warnings. Some trails are steep and the ground is uneven so if you can’t handle that, see one of the people in the gift shop or check the map to see which trail is best for you.

What a view! And you can feel the cool mist

Not very wide water fall but impressive.

I thought water was just going to be drizzling down the waterfall, since I went during late summer. That’s what it was like with a waterfall I went to during the late summer last year at Yosemite (there was just a drizzle coming down). Snoqualmie Falls was still strong…probably not as strong during winter or early Spring though. It was a nice sight to see!

You’re a ‘Twin Peaks’ fan, so you know.

Don’t take I-90 to get there. Align your trip so you pass through Fall City, on the backroads. If you can help it, take the Snoqualmie Trail, which is a wide, paved, rail-to-trail path from near Fall City.
