Note to self

Free viewing areas are open from dawn until dusk.
Free parking is across the road–take the pedestrian bridge. Parking next to the falls can be pricey.
Leashed pets are allowed.
Lights illuminate the falls in the evening.
The opening credits of the show “Twin Peaks” show the Snoqualmie Falls.
In the summer you can try the hike. The hike is around half a mile to one mile; going down is easy, but going up is more difficult. The trail path has rocks and can be a bit muddy when rainy.
Check the weather before making the drive. The view on clear days is different than rainy days.
There are two viewing decks at the top and a lower viewing point as well.
Pick up a “Snoqualmie Falls Visitor Information” brochure at the community kiosk next to the restrooms. It contains a map of the park with the names of the landmarks.
There are port a potties in the lower parking lot.
