Twin Falls

I’m frightfully out of shape after a full year spent mostly at home, but thanks to a relocation to the suburbs just east of Seattle, there’s a wealth of short-ish, low intensity hikes practically in our backyard. Twin Falls is a recent favorite, shy of two miles and offering an incredible over-waterfall view close to its end.

Snoqualmie Falls

Earlier this year, on a whim, my boyfriend and I drove into the Cascades just to see what views we would come across. Just as the sun dipped behind the mountains, we popped in at the Salish Lodge to see the famous waterfall behind it…and were surprised to find it was the geographic inspiration behind the Great Northern Hotel of the Twin Peaks series. If dining at the hotel restaurant, try the pie - it’s a nod at the cult classic series as well.
