Seattle|Snoqualmie Falls travel diary

Snoqualmie Falls, located on the Snoqualmie River east of Seattle, sits between the cities of Falls City and Snoqualmie. In the Native American language, "Snoqualmie" means "moon." 🌙 The parking lot is very close to the viewpoint, and many visitors are of Asian descent. The waterfall, standing over 80 meters tall, is powerfully majestic, with mist filling the valley. A trail leads to the base of the falls, requiring moderate physical effort but highly recommended for the experience. Along the way, there are many interesting sights to enjoy. 🌊 The trail is unpaved and maintains a natural state, flanked by forests that can truly be called ancient—tall trees, dense foliage, and diverse plant life. The undergrowth is lush with ferns, and detailed illustrated signs along the path offer educational insights into the natural environment. 📚 Seattle’s damp, rainy climate, combined with the constant mist from the waterfall, keeps the tree trunks and branches covered in moss. While you might catch glimpses of this along the roadside during your drive, here you can observe it up close. 🌿🧐 #Travel #MyTravelDiary #HiddenGems #USATravel #Seattle #SeattleSurroundings #SeattleLife
