   Trail Details

Twin Falls trail stretches east along the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River as it winds its way into its birthplace in the cascades. Aptly named the two falls here are the main attractions with several overlooks and a well maintained trail leading to them. From the trailhead to the falls and back is just over two and a half miles with moderate grades along the way. You'll notice from the trail map that this trail is very close to Interstate 90. Don't let that keep you from this hike. The rushing of the river drowned out any road noise that may have interrupted the hike.

Of the twin falls, the upper drops straight down into a boil of noise and foam and the second is more of a fan as it drops 150 feet into the bottom pool on its way to the Pacific. During the spring and winter expect a more dramatic show when the water volume can exceed 750,000 gallons per second.  

While the falls are the reason for the trail there is much to see and appreciate on the mile or so it takes to get there. Old-growth firs with girths over 14 in diameter are adjacent to the trail. Please restrain yourself from the urge to hug these huge trees, compaction of the soil around their base can kill them.
