Twin Falls - June 7th


Today we learned a lesson in wearing layers and water-proofing! The day started out raining but did eventually clear up though we never dried out! Despite the rain and generally lousy weather, the hike was fun with lots to see. The trail followed along the Snoqualmie river before crossing it and giving us a fabulous view of Twin Falls. At the top of the trail, we decided to continue along the John Wayne Trail to Ragnar (basically a meadow where old railroad ties are stored) before heading backdown to the trailhead.


We hiked for about 3 1/2 hours covering approximately 6.2 miles and with 1200 cumulative elevation gain. By the time we were done I was soaked but happy! I immediately put a waterproof rain jacket and waterproof pants on my list of must-haves!


This trail is the right length and enough to see to make it perfect for kids. I'm looking forward to bringing my family to this trail.
