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 Puget Sound Energy / City of Snoqualmie (public viewing park) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Snoqualmie Falls drops about 268 feet. That makes it the 55th-tallest documented waterfall in this inventory, taller than roughly 92% of the falls listed here. Height comes from published land-manager and survey records, not from our own measurement.
The Snoqualmie Falls River Trail (upper to lower viewpoint) reaches it about 1.4 miles (out-and-back) with roughly 300 feet of elevation gain, rated easy. The nearest town is Snoqualmie. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with Puget Sound Energy / City of Snoqualmie (public viewing park) for closures and current conditions.
Winter and spring high flow (Nov-May); flows year-round. Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
