The Snoqualmie Falls is a waterfall of the Snoqualmie River. Here nature has once again made the greatest effort to inspire us humans. The place offers a wonderful view of the falls, there is also a lot to learn from a technical point of view. The waterfall is 30 meters wide and 82 meters high. There are two free visitor parking spaces directly on the street. The opposite car park is connected to the viewpoints by a pedestrian bridge.
The waterfall was probably the backdrop for the TV series "Twin Peaks"

Beyond the Horizon

October 6, 2023

A waterfall that is characterized not only by its size, but above all by its mystical history.

The sound of the masses of water cascading down over a 30-meter-wide cliff edge captivates everyone. With an impressive height of 82 meters - more than twice as high as Niagara Falls - the Snoqualmie River shows all its power and energy here.

But Snoqualmie Falls is not only a place of natural beauty, it is also deeply rooted in the culture and history of the Snoqualmie People Indian tribe. Here, in this powerful place, they saw not only a burial place, but also a sacred site for prayers and rituals. Legends say that the falls are the place where the moon created the first man. The rumbling of the water and the fine spray in the air make this belief tangible.

The falls are not only known for their natural beauty. For many they are also a place of nostalgia, as in the 90s they served as the backdrop for the iconic TV series "Twin Peaks".

Your route to the falls takes you along Railroad Ave, using the gift shop at the parking lot as a guide. After you have parked your car in the free parking lot, a pedestrian bridge leads directly to the viewing point. Just follow the increasingly loud roar of the water.

During your visit it is worth exploring the surrounding area. A walk downstream gives you a glimpse of the Snoqualmie Lower Falls, which are smaller but just as worth seeing. And anyone interested in technology and history should not miss the historic hydroelectric power station from the 19th century, which is now listed as a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
