Twin Falls Trail

Well at the Bottem of Lower Twin FallsThis trek  is a relatively easy but a little deceptive. The trail is located in Olallie State Park  and marauders through cool forests up to a 150 foot waterfall. And then onward to another set of falls nestled in a narrow river gorge. The route follows the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River with plenty of shady spots for those hot Summer days. The river gorge area receives about ninety inches of rain per year leaving the surrounding area with the feeling of a rain forest, with moss covered trees and ferns.  During the Fall and Winter, this trek is a good alternative hike for when the other mountain trails are choked off by snow. During your trek you will notice the South Fork of the Snoqualmie river being choked off by a thin river gorge before cascading through a series of Upper Falls. Then as the South Fork reaches the top of the Lower Falls, the river then cascades 150 feet below to a waiting pool of water. A show stopper for sure. There is a viewing platform a short distance off the trail in which you will for sure want to snap up a few photos. As you return to the trail and push up through a series of switchbacks, you will be rewarded with more opportunities to view both the falls and shoot up more snap shots. As I mentioned above, the trail is a little deceptive. Your beginning elevation is about 600 feet and the ending your elevation is about 1340 feet, giving you the impression of an easy climb. As you get into the trail for about two miles, you all of a sudden realize that your trek has been all uphill. And then it doesn't seem to have that 'walk in the park' feeling. But in reality, it is a nice walk in the park. So push on and your adventure will lead you to the Iron Horse Trail  (John Wayne Pioneer Trail).
