You Can Practically Drive Right Up To The Beautiful Snoqualmie Falls In Washington
There are over 2,000 waterfalls in Washington, according to the Northwest Waterfall Survey. Obviously, a good portion of these will require a hefty hike to reach — but not the picture-perfect Snoqualmie Falls, one of our state’s most spectacular natural wonders. In fact, reaching the viewing area requires no real effort at all.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
But don't worry about battling crowds -- there's a huge viewing area and plenty of small paths you can take for the best views.
The Snoqualmie Tribe established a camp at the base of the nearby Mount Si and villages in what is now Fall City.
In fact, pioneer women used to get a thrill out of edging as close to the falls as they could while friends held on to their dresses to keep them from falling.
In fact, the viewing platform is just a few steps from the parking lot.
And as you can see, the viewing platform offers some stellar views.
To put things into perspective, Niagara Falls is 167 feet tall.
And as magnificent as it is to see the falls from the top, seeing the base will make you realize how massive it really is.
Snoqualmie Falls is even more beautiful in person. And if you get hungry, you can always enjoy views of it from The Dining Room at the Salish Lodge & Spa.
