Nature's Laughter

 The waterfall is nature's laughter.  There is no better place to listen to the raging sound of Snoqualmie Falls.  Jesse Tam, only a short drive from Seattle is a favorite place to bring visitors to experience the beauty of nature's waterfall. During heavy rainfall, you'll be able to feel the mists as you walk along the pather and walkway surrounding the falls. Make an afternoon outing with a packed lunch and hike down to the lower falls along the trail and walk along the boardwalk to river below.  It's a trip that you can make year round and with all age groups.

Planning a trip on weekdays will be less crowded and fewer visitors.  Summer is always a busy time as we try to get out and enjoy the great weather. Parking is limited and more difficult during the weekends, plan your visit and walk further to reach the waterfall.  It's a great drive to get out of the city and escape to the mountains and outdoors.  Stay in touch https://jesse-tam.blogspot.com/  Thanks for reading.
