2.Visit Snoqualmie and Hike to Twin Falls (Transportation included)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 330 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $76Top rated

From Zeitgeist Coffee in Seattle, ride with a small group to Snoqualmie Falls, then hike among the tall trees and waterfalls of Olallie State Park. The outing lasts about four hours and includes round-trip transport. Guides such as Jonny have offered route choices and adjusted the pace, but expect some hills and possibly muddy trail.

“This is a great intermediate hike. The lower view of the falls was absolutely gorgeous, the upper view would have been, had the fog not been so dense. But even with the fog, it was still interesting visually. The hike itself was strenuous, though not impossible, but be ready for uphill climbs and possibly some mud (we went in December). The river is beautiful and the trees are just majestic. Jonny was the perfect guide, keeping track of us yet letting us go at our own paces (I stopped to take a LOT of pictures). He is very knowledgeable about the area, and is just an interesting person all around.…”
