After a nice rainfall, with the sun finally shining, we decide to hike to Twin Falls. Being from the drier side of the mountains, we enjoyed the moss covered trees lining the path as it winds along the river. Gentle and not too long, this is a great hike for kids too. Skunk cabbage and some blooming bushes that I don't know the name of, teasing us that spring is around the corner. Falls running nicely with the recent rain and snowmelt. Kuddos to those whom built the great staircase platform to allow us to view the falls safely from the picturesque point that, otherwise hikers would be scrambling to to get "the shot". Flowers: none that I saw, except for the bushes and the skunk cabbage. And we actually saw some mosquitoes!

Clear all the way. The falls are full, making them spectacular. No snow on trail, road or parking lot surfaces. At the bridge there's a cold breeze coming down the arroyo along with the mist above the falls, so wear something over your ears - you'll be more comfortable.

What a great rainy day hike with the kid! It has tons of little excursions down to the water for little feet to explore. The trails are in good condition, if a little wet & slippery in places. The falls are roaring from the winter rains.

Let's just go on record here that the book (Day Hiking: Snoqualmie Region) is wrong. The trestle is not over Washington Creek, it is over Change Creek (at Deception Crags climbing area), and you reach the Twin Falls cutoff long before you reach the trestle (if you are coming from the Rattlesnake Lake trailhead). In fact, the trestle is even beyond the Mt. Washington cutoff. We were expecting to log around 8-9 miles. Nearest I can figure looking at the map is we logged 13+/- (including a side trip to view Twin Falls) with the cutoff for the falls trail at about 4.0 miles and the trestle at about 5.5. Not much respite from the rain on the old railroad grade and the hard pack tread covered with gravel wears on the feet after a lot of miles, but it was a pleasant enough way to spend the day when the weather promised nothing but wet.
