On the Trail

Twin Falls

3.0 miles round trip, 500 feet of elevation gain, 1,000 ft high point

Hike the Twin Falls Trail along the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River. In 0.5 mile, the trail leaves the river and begins to climb. At 0.75 mile enjoy the first view of the lower falls from the ridge crest. At 1.0 mile, the spur trail to the right leads to an overlook with fantastic views of the lower falls. At ~1.5 mile reach the bridge that crosses the middle of the "stair step" upper falls and a short distance beyond the bridge, the overlook for the upper falls.

Hall Point

9.0 miles, 2,000 feet of elevation gain, 2,600 ft High point

Hike past the falls and up to the John Wayne Pioneer Trail. Travel east on the Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail (formerly John Wayne Trail) to the start of the Change Creek Trail. The Change Creek Trail goes up the ridge between Change and Hall Creeks. The trail is fairly steep and can be quite rugged in places, but is well-maintained and even signed. The adventurous can take a short side-trip to Ollalie Point and and another short side trip to Hall Point for exceptional views. From Hall Point, retrace the route back to the trailhead.
