Our family was visiting from out of town and wanted to go somewhere before Thanksgiving dinner. This park was open and exceeded our expectations! It was an easy drive from our hotel near the Space Needle. We started at the top of the falls. It was really easy to access the viewing platform from the parking lot. We parked in the paid lit, but we later found out free parking was available across the street. We were concerned that it was late in the season, but the falls were still going strong. We visited the gift store and popped into the Lodge - both were nice & we got some cute Christmas ornaments to remember our trip. We then drove down to the lower parking lot and walked to the bottom viewing platform. The air was fresh with the scent of pine and clean water. Our 2 teen girls complained about the stairs, but my husband and I (in our 50s) found it to be an easy walk. It was a fun, quick and easy trip, and we really enjoyed it. I'd highly recommend it.

Such an amazing waterfalls to see especially after the area gets a lot of rain. Easily accessible with paved trails to several viewpoints. Wished we could have stayed longer and walked to the lower parking lot.

We stopped at the falls on the way to Mt. Si from Seattle. There was plenty of parking and paved pathway to the shops and restrooms. It is a short walk to the lookout point. We also walked down to the river. It says it's an easy walk, but it might be difficult for some as it is a bit steep. Down at the river we sat for a bit taking in the scenery and cooing off our feet. We were glad we made the stop and took the short walk to the river.

This was a beautiful place to see, and I’m glad I went. BUT, this trail is rated “easy” by WTA, and I strongly disagree. Getting down to the falls was not bad, but getting back up was challenging. One sign near the start said getting back up was equivalent to climbing a 30-story building!

We were in Seattle for baseball and hockey, and decided to head out here for a few hours instead of hanging around the city. The falls are awesome, and there’s a trail that leads down to the Snoqualmie River and a boardwalk with a lower view of the falls. The town of Snoqualmie is a mile away and an easy walk worth doing. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom on our visit

A nice drive from Seattle on a pretty Spring day. The Falls are beautiful, some have said they are not huge, but I'm not sure exactly what they were expecting. They were beautiful. We hiked all the way down to the river. And all the way back up. Let me say, this was not an easy hike by any means. It is paved and there is no actual climbing, but some of the sections were really steep. We had to stop quite a few times to rest. And we are from Colorado. So beware....once you hike down you have to hike up, there is no other way. Parking was a breeze and there were plenty of open spots (on a Saturday!). We looked around the hotel a little, but felt eyes on us the entire time so we left. We went into town and had a quick bite after the Falls, and the folks in town were all very nice and friendly. Overall, we enjoyed this day trip from Seattle very much.

You have to pay to park in the parking lot closest to the falls, but ADA can park there for free. Otherwise, there is a free parking lot across the street. The falls are cool to see if you haven't seen anything like that before, but it isn't spectacular.

I visit here often, and each time I see so many people who were unprepared for the trail down to the bottom of the falls. Especially on a hot day, this is not a good choice for people in poor health or for young children who can't walk far. And it's not a good idea to try it in date-night clothes and heels, ladies! The trail is easy enough going down, but the way back up is a fairly unrelenting climb, and I always see people sweating profusely and really struggling. Some tips: If you plan to do the trail and are not looking for a work-out, park at the lower parking lot (Lower Snoqualmie Falls). There are public restrooms there, and water fountains. This way you can start by hiking up, and if it is too hard, you can go back down to the car. You can also walk along the boardwalk to see the falls from the bottom. This walk is a much easier one. Then you can drive to the upper parking lot to visit the viewing platform.

This is a beautiful Falls outside of Seattle. There are three main viewing points. Two are up top and a few feet from the parking lots and visitors center. One is at the end of a very steep trail. Takes about 20-25 minutes to get down. Obviously, be prepared for the return up the hill.

So this is a wonderful adventure to take if you travel to Seattle. Not a far drive from the city. Well worth the time. Falls are beautiful. If you have the time and ability walk down to the river and view the falls from the river. Enjoy your adventure.
