Why Fall Is the Best Time to See Snoqualmie's Waterfalls

Forget everything you think you know about waterfall season. While summer might bring crowds and full-blast cascades, autumn offers a more magical, and frankly, better, experience. In the Snoqualmie region, the changing leaves transform the landscape, making a trip to Snoqualmie Falls, Franklin Falls, and Twin Falls a must-do.

Snoqualmie Falls: In fall, the iconic 268-foot falls are framed by a fiery show of red and orange foliage. The lower water levels can reveal hidden rock formations, giving you a new perspective on this classic landmark.

Franklin Falls: The hike to this 135-foot cascade is a visual treat. The trail becomes a tunnel of gold as the forest canopy changes color, making the journey as beautiful as the destination.

Twin Falls: For a more adventurous trek, the Twin Falls trail offers breathtaking views of two separate waterfalls. The contrast of the rushing water against the deep greens and occasional splashes of yellow from the changing leaves is simply stunning.

Don't wait. The combination of cool, crisp air and vibrant colors makes autumn the perfect time to experience these natural wonders.
