Day Trippin to Snoqualmie

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.






Snoqualmie River below the Falls.




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.
