Snoqualmie Falls is known for how deep it plunges. I believe the information I read states it drops 100 feet lower than Niagara Falls. That said, I had to check it out.From Seattle, it's a short 30 minute drive. At 268 feet and pouring water from the Cascade Mountains, it is awe-inspiring. This is a very popular spot, so there is no opportunity for solitude. My friends and I encountered people speaking many different languages, showing that Snoqualmie Falls is famous all over the world. Despite the crowds, the falls are an enjoyable daytrip. Visitors have the option of an easy walk to a viewing pagoda, or to continue down a trail to see the falls from its base. It is equally impressive from both views.The trail includes wooden steps at points and is easy to follow. Able-bodied people should be able to tackle the trail.
No dogs are allowed in the park, but this rule isn't very well enforced. Getting There Snoqualmie Falls is located about 28 miles east of Seattle, just north of Interstate 90. There are many signs to point the way. Lodging There is a beautiful lodge here that overlooks the falls. I have been there many times round the year. Taken on December after several days of temperatures ranging from about 15F overnight warming to maybe 35F for the highs have frozen the spray to the usually shaded rocks.
