Before you go

Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest (USFS) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Keekwulee Falls drops about 125 feet. That makes it the 154th-tallest documented waterfall in this inventory, taller than roughly 78% of the falls listed here. Height comes from published land-manager and survey records, not from our own measurement.

The Denny Creek Trail reaches it about 5 miles (out-and-back) with roughly 803 feet of elevation gain, rated moderate. The nearest town is Snoqualmie Pass. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest (USFS) for closures and current conditions.

Summer (after snowmelt). Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
