Snoqualmie Falls

We were in western Washington recently and on our way home stopped at Snoqualmie Falls and hiked the trails there. Snoqualmie Falls is on the Snoqualmie River and drops 268 feet (82 m) over granite cliffs. It is, after Mount Rainier the second most visited place in the state of Washington. The falls are used to generate electricity but the buildings (some of them) and power stations are only just visible from this vantage point. We had traveled through the area many times but had never stopped to see the falls.
