Twin Falls

North Bend, WA

The seemingly incorrectly named Twin Falls is the tallest waterfall along the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River and the third tallest among any branch of the Snoqualmie after Kanim Falls and Snoqualmie Falls. Twin Falls actually consists of three primary sections of falls which are often referred to as individual waterfalls. The first two tiers drop about 45 feet into a large bowl, the upper fall being mostly obstructed from view by the shape of the gorge. The next series is a two-stepped 30 foot fall that is visible upstream from the long bridge crossing the river. A 20 foot fall can be seen directly beneath the bridge but can't really be seen from anywhere else. Finally the big drop, a curvaceous 135 foot horsetail that slams into an undercut cliff face as it veils down a very bulbous protrusion of rock.

A beautiful 2-1/2 mile out-and-back hike through the woods provides access to viewpoints of the falls.
