Twin Falls is a short hike jam-packed with most "must see" scenic sights for those wanting to experience the great Pacific Northwest. Today the weather was perfect and the skies were blue.
Along the trail you will experience the views and rushing sounds of the South Fork Snoqualmie River - rocks, boulders and rapids. Huge moss ladden maples, many old cedars, chirping birds, native undergrowth, flowers and berry vines are all around. Switch backs with elevation gain add to the experience and anticipation of viewing Twin Falls.
An added benefit to this hike, you can get a different perspective of the falls from four different locations: at the first set of double benches, the side trail down the wood steps to see the lower falls, from the impressive bridge crossing the river and farther up the trail to view the upper falls.
It was expected to see a great number of people on the trail this holiday weekend. However, it was amazing to see so many families with small children - babies in backpacks, babies swaddled, toddlers running, jumping, crying, falling, talking and experiencing it all. The adult to child ratio was at least 1:1, without a doubt, surpassing the adult to dog ratio today.
