We've had a ton of rain over the last month and the rivers are swollen and flooding has been a problem. That also means that the waterfalls are going to be extremely impressive. I'd heard that Snoqualmie Falls was raging, so I decided to go check it out. The Snoqualmie/North Bend area is the gateway to the Cascade Mountains.
Pedestrian Bridge over the road.
Salish Lodge , which is perched on the cliff above the falls. (pronunciation guide: Salish = SAY-lish).
If only I could have gotten audio of the sound of the raging water. I got soaked from the mist.

My friends ask why I don't move back to the east coast. This is one of the many reasons why. I could never leave this scenery.
The photos are fabulous! Looks like you had a grand time.

ReplyDeleteThe word I could use a pronunciation guide for is "Snoqualmie".
Val: snow-QUALL-mee.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous, JoJo...we have beautiful scenery in PA too! Just to let you know, I fed "Buddy" and he was REAL thirsty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a breathtaking view. You've captured it beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI swear I can HEAR the sound of the water.....
ReplyDeleteIs that Quall to rhyme with All, or Pal?
ReplyDeleteJust asking...
Val - It'd be like AWL or ALL. Definitely not like Pal.
ReplyDeleteYou've captured it well. Was in that area three years ago and found it beautiful.
