Twin Falls

Twin Falls might be the most popular waterfall hike in Washington State given its proximity to Seattle—but don’t let that deter you. The mile-long hike in takes you through a verdant temperate rain-forest gorge where fire-scarred old-growth Douglas fir trees and school bus–size glacial erratic boulders compete for your attention before the views start opening up of Twin Falls in all of its multitiered glory as it cuts through a gorge in the South Fork Snoqualmie River.
