Twin Falls State Park is a great walk along the Snoqualmie River to a great set of falls and beyond to the John Wayne Trail and other destinations.
On Sunday, the plan was to go with the Issaquah Alps to the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie but snow drifts about a mile prior to the trail head (scouting report from Fred Zeitler) changed the groups plan.
Our large group (about 33 people) headed out to the falls on about a 3 mile 400 foot elevation gain hike to the bridge over the falls for photos and lunch. The total hike took about 2.5 hours with a nice lunch break. The falls were roaring with snow melt and from recent rains. The trail however was relatively mud free except for a section near I-90 which is cut into a clay rich bank.
Views from the river included Mt. Si, Mt. Tenerife, Mt. Washington, Rattlesnake Ridge and some others I could not identify. The weather was great with sun shine lighting the river and trees along the trail.
