A delightful stopover after hiking the Mt Little Si not far away. We park the car and cross the bridge to this free attraction! The waterfall is so strong (reflecting the abundance of rain) and close that our faces were sprayed with mist! My friend told me all our wishes will come true when we make wishes touch by the mist from the waterfall! Its great to know that little tales still exist today to tickle our senses!! For the enthusiastic, there is a 5 km return walk down the steep hill to the power station.Lovely aboriginal reminders along the way, with interest flora and fauna! To make it more enticing, it is only 65 km from Seattle!

I LOVE this waterfall. It has been raining for months and the surge is awesome! We walked down to the lower observation deck for the first time and it was worth the hike. It is a relatively easy hike. Wear appropriate shoes, as the gravel can be tricky. The hike back up can be tiring, if you are not used to the exercise but there are plenty of smooth logs to sit and rest. The signage identifying the plants are great!

Lovely falls. Very busy tourist spot. Had a hard time taking a group photo for all the other groups! haha. Eventually some space cleared and we got a family photo taken by a stranger. The trek down to the water / river is not for the feint of heart or weak of knees! The trail is pretty steep, and one of our crew had to turn back. But its all well maintained, and most people get up and down just fine.

This place is all about seeing the famous Snoqualmie Falls! If you love Twin Peaks, then youll be enraptured the moment you see the falls…and want to hear that theme song playing as a backdrop :-) Theres plenty of parking nearby, both paid and free, depending on which side of the road you park. Theres also trails to take you to a lower part which gives you another view to the famous waterfalls.

Beautiful place; especially beautiful in the winter when the surrounding greenery around the falls is icy and frozen. A beautiful place to visit. Make sure to dress warmly, though. And it can be quite slippery around the observation deck so be prepared accordingly. Adjacent to the deck, there are a few shops and bathrooms inside. Theres also a fireplace to warm up to.

Amazing place... great view of the falls. Also the lush greenery around is a must experience if you can spare an hour max for hiking around. I would strongly recommend missing the hiking from the upper deck to the lower and back if possible. Beware, the climb back is steep, but my 4 year old did it with small breaks and loved it.

Came on a cold day, initially very foggy but cleared out. They had a number of areas closed off for what I guess was for ice, but it seemed pretty stupid and by the time we got back up from the falls it looked like a random guest had just torn down the caution tape and everyone was taking pictures from the closed areas.

Beautiful falls, especially when the river is at a flood stage. Wish there was closer view of the falls from the bottom observation deck. its very confined especially when there is a crowd. and the angle isnt that great. its more of a peek-a-boo view.

The biggest falls in Washington and easy for anyone to get to. If you are really out of shape, hiking to the bottom and back up will be a challenge. There is also a lower parking lot that gets you to the bottom of the hill.

Awesome Sight to behold. You can feel the rumble of the rushing water even from the upper observation point. I recommend the hike from the upper to the lower observation point. The trail is steep but totally doable.

Beautiful view, the falls are natures treat. The trail down to the lower is fairly easy (going down). I made it back up in 14 minutes, but I was breathing hard. I need to work on cardio.

Easy to get to. Good for all,ages. Handicap accessible as well as a hike for those that would like a little more. Alway a good view, rain or shine. Close to downtown Snoqualmie

A beautiful place with waterfalls, can go to the base of the falls and has a little bit of hiking down the sloppy roads. This produces electricity for some parts of the city

IT WAS GORGEOUS! There was well put together walking paths and handrails as well as signs that told you about the Falls. It was very clean and just plain beautiful.

Its a beautiful fall. If you take the short trail to reach the bottom of the falls you, can even enjoy swimming in the river. The water is clear and clean.

Sweeping views of the falls, the lodge, and the river. Great spot to get misted and cool off! Recommend the Attic in the nearby lodge for refreshments.

Great view of a legendary attraction in Washington. I would only complain about the lack of parking and no easy wheelchair/stroller access.

Great trail and view for families with kids. Not too difficult terrain. A waterfall that never disappoints. Close to civilization.

If youre looking to do a nice hike and get a glimpse of the waterfall from the lower deck, this is a great way to do it.

Its a great place for a family hike or picnic. If you can find your way to the river its a great place to cool off.

Cool spot to check out of you can find parking. The down side is its pay parking and its aggressively enforced.

It was beautiful there and I like how they allow dogs on the trail! But it was very crowded and a short trail.

The view was incredible. My advice is to go during the week for a more private feel.
