This is a beautiful, huge waterfall and is definitely worth a stop. Once you park, you only need to walk a short distance to view the waterfall. So if you are short on time, you can see it within maybe 10 minutes or less. If you have more time, I recommend walking the trail down to the lower viewing area. You’ll need good shoes as it is quite a walk down and then back up and while it isn’t difficult it also isn’t that simple if you have difficulty with walking/hiking. Note that there is a restroom and water fountain at the bottom and also a restroom at the top, near the parking lot. There is also a gift shop and some food and snacks near the parking lot.

being so close to the city we expected this attraction to be crowded on a Saturday afternoon and it was. There is a great deal of parking across the street for free. it is a short walk to the falls viewing area. There is also a moderately steep trail down to the river and the base of the falls. the trail is steep but well maintained. remember it is harder going back up! I think they said the trail was half a mile or so. There are restrooms and picnic areas at the bottom of the trail it is a pleasant area with some interesting displays about the power generating system as well. worth a stop if you are in the area.

This was our last stop after spending a day outside of Seattle after a cruise waiting on our return flight home. We are glad we stopped. It is an easy walk to get to a view of the falls (somewhat obstructed). There are then stairs or a switchback path to another level that has wonderful views. It is very popular and the free parking area is really crowded. They have a paid area as well and that also had quite a few cars in it.

I've visited Seattle dozens of times over the years and we frequently travel on the I-90 on road trips so I'm quite amazed I'd never been here before. These falls aren't very wide but they are very tall and quite a site. Personally I don't think they're a must do if you haven't been to Seattle before and are having trouble deciding what to prioritize, but they're definitely worth a stop if you have the time. Speaking of time, it's crazy how close they are to the Seattle area given how quiet and the remote the area is. It was only a half hour drive from our hotel in Bellevue. Make sure you park across the street as that lot is free. The first platform you hit doesn't have the best view but it gets better as you keep walking. Unless you aren't able to do hills, the trail down to the base of the falls is excellent and gives you a different perspective as you can see the falls from the river they descend into (I think you can actually drive to the base too if you don't want to walk). We didn't stop at the hotel but there's a nice gift shop and cafe with public restrooms. While here definitely stop to check out the charming little town of Snoqualmie

While we were in Washington to see the 3 National Parks, we made sure to see the state's top waterfall in route between North Cascades and Mount Rainier. If you are travelling between the two parks, the waterfall is really on your way, only a short detour but well worth it. Even in low late summer flow, the waterfall is amazing, dropping nearly 200 feet. When we saw it there were two distinct falls flowing parallel to the bottom. The entire scene is made even more amazing by the hotel that is perched above the falls. There is also a beautiful forest to walk through for a view from the river below. I could say a lot of words, but they would not measure up to beauty God has created in nature. You just have to see it.

I lived in seattle for twenty five years and recently went back to visit. I spoke with ground keeper Bart, He does a fantastic job and is very knowledgeable. Not only keeping the trails clear, but doing an excellent job keeping all the beautiful plants healthy. Kudos to you, Bart!

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!
