Tips from the Community

Roberto A.
September 25, 2024, Boxley Creek Waterfall

This is the first of several trestles going up the mountains, each more spectacular than the last. This one has a very nice waterfall that ranges from a trickle in the early Fall to a roaring gusher in the late Spring.

This smaller lake offers a delightful view of the water, framed by pine trees and set against the backdrop of mountains. The most captivating views can be enjoyed at this specific point, making it an excellent spot to take a break and appreciate the surroundings.

The Snoqualmie Valley Trail runs for 32 miles in all — far too long for a single-day hike. But it also makes a wonderful trail connector, in this case taking you all the way from North Bend proper to a set of open parklands.

Tollgate Farm offers pleasant, flat trails that are perfect for walking or riding a bike — or simply enjoying the magnificent views of Mount Si looming in the near distance.

The "Big Cedar" is a massive, living tree, measuring 9.5 feet (2.9 m) in diameter. It's believed to be about 500 years old, and is at its most spectacular in summer and fall. You'll find wood rounds scattered nearby for seating.

This broad, graveled trail is shared between mountain bikers and walkers. It offers an easy, mostly flat getaway along the lake, and also leads to the interesting Cedar River Watershed Education Center.

The Cedar River Watershed Education Center was built with sustainable design in mind. The five buildings are linked by covered walkways with living roofs, and admission to the interactive, hands-on exhibits, including a set of "water drums," is free.

Stop a moment to enjoy the cascading waters of Lower Twin Falls. This makes a lovely stopping point on its own, but you can continue hiking to another viewpoint overlooking Upper Twin Falls.
