Twin Falls — Sunday, Apr. 1, 2012

Snoqualmie Region > North Bend Area

It was sunny in Seattle, so we hoped that we would have a decent day for a hike. However, driving east to the Snoqualmie Pass rainforest reinforced the lesson that all weather is local. Twin Falls is a good rainy day hike, and that is how it played out. It was drizzling when we reached the trailhead at 2:30 pm, but there was plenty of parking and the trail was not too crowded. The trail was in good condition, with minimal water and mud despite the rainy conditions. Moss was in abundance, as usual. We took the trail all the way to the viewpoint overlooking the upper falls. The only regret was that the spur stairway to the viewpoint of the main (lower) falls was closed for maintenance. To compensate, I found my way, boulder-to-boulder, to the middle of the river to take a picture of the lower falls.
