2/19, Sunday. Not as rainy as yesterday. Planned to snowshoe east of the pass, but the mist turned into heavy rain around Snoqualmie Pass. Stopped at Snoqualmie Falls, and Twin Falls instead. Waterfalls in winter and spring is always better than the drier season.
Puget Sound Energy has reinforced the trail down to Snoqualmie Falls. Now a locked gate prevented you from going closer, a pity. They did some art work using old turbine, and displays of a Snoqualmie tribal story of
Moon.
Twin Falls state park is an easy outing. However, on this rainy day, it's very muddy. Went on two short side tracks (off trail scrambling) to get better views of the upper cascades and the lower falls. The lower falls is very pretty. Surprisingly, not rainy much here. Quite a few hikers, well, on established trail only. These falls are on South Fork Snoqualmie River. So the water here will eventually run over the generators at Snoqualmie Falls.
