Here's a couple of short hikes easily accessible for everybody. Both hikes start near the Denny Creek campground. Took the Denny Creek up to the slippery slab. Had fun climbing over the granite. Water flow was quite low but not unexpected for this time of year. Took the Wagon Road trail up to Franklin Falls. This was the site for one of the original roads over Snoqualmie Pass. The falls were quite nice. Took the falls trail along the river back to the trail head which was very nice. Saw some WTA volunteers doing some work. Thanks for the effort. This trail looks like quite a bit of work has been done. Both parking lots were packed when we returned. Amazing to think that these trails are actually in the median of a major interstate highway!

Not a long hike but very nice views of creek and of falls at the end. Alot of down trees made it difficult on many parts of the trail, especially on the Wagon Trail return route to where it is almost inaccessable at times (especally with a baby in a pack and a dog in tow).

This is the forest; Alpine Lakes, Washington; I work here; I carry a badge; do do do do do-o-o-o The Denny Creek Trailhead parking lot has up to three feet of snow; so it goes without saying that the parking lot is still inaccessible. There is patchy snow covering the trail right out of the trailhead, with continuous snow above 2600 feet. Denny Creek is running very fast and high at the bathing rocks - crossing is not recommended. There is limited parking at the Franklin Falls trailhead and the trail is covered with snow patches up to three feet in depth. There are many windfalls on both trails.

The road is blocked at the one lane bridge by a good sized drift. The road beyond has about a foot of old snow with five or six inches of new on top that. The whole length of the trail has about two to three feet of snow on it. I've never been up the trail before but was able to follow the route fairly easily. I didn't use snowshoes but if I had had some with me I would of used them.

This trail is nothing more than a very short walk, although the falls are actually quite scenic. It was a nice day, damp and chilly in the woods though. The trail was quite wet, which was to be expected. No snow yet. I was surprised to see a large steel girder from the freeway construction in the basin at the base of the falls -- why wasnt that removed upon completion of construction' Despite the presence of the freeway above, the falls are still beautiful, and easily accessable for out-of-towners and people not able to hike distances.
