North of Carson 15 miles, more or less, than an hour hike in to a great water fall!

i imagine it is fantastic in May, with active snowmelt. be sure to not overshoot the turnoff to the falls it's not very well marked and navigation systems can be unreliable in this area. Once you turn off Meadow Creek to NF 3062, it's about 2 miles of gravel road to the parking area, and a two mile rugged hike (mostly uphill) to the falls, so you should be in decent shape before starting. bring water, and travel with a partner.

The Mima Falls trail-head is off Bordeau Rd. From the parking lot, the trail is well marked. The first half mile or so is through replanted forest so there are many signs of a logging operation and 5 year old fir. The trail is well maintained and suitable for hikers of just about any age - even toddlers. Bikes and horses share the trail, but everyone is courteous. At the road bear right , cross the road and take the trail to the left. Shortly after this the trail goes into a more mature forest for about a mile. There is a newly refurbished bridge coming up around the mile mark. The trail continue to more on through older forest and if you know what to look for there are signs of a really old logging operation. When you come to a merging of trails, you have a little more than a half mile to go. Cross a second bridge and it is just over a quarter mile to the falls. When you get to the falls, you can hear it,but not see it. There are a number of social trails down the bank, but go down carefully if you want to get to the base of the falls. You can get to about the same place from the other side if you cross the bridge and again look for the social trail down the bank.. Even after a dry, hot summer, the waterfall continues to flow. Nice reward for a great time spend in a walk through the woods.

Enjoyable 6 mile round trip day hiking area accessible from Lower Falls Campground. Here you can see four different waterfalls on a nice trail with minimal elevation gain.From the south this area is 15 miles off main road just 1/4 mile from information center and a 2 hour drive from Portland. The trail isn't marked well with direction of other falls from Lower, so you want to take trail to left after Lower Falls viewpoints. If you want to shave 2.5 miles off your hike, but still see all the falls, park at Lower Falls campground and do a 3 minute walk to viewpoint then drive to Middle Falls parking area and start your hike from there. I started my hika at 7:30 on a Saturday morning and didn't see anyone till I turned around and headed back. One word of caution if coming from the south, there is one rough patch of road where a low clearance vehicle could have problems

A trail in the Olympic National Forest.
Reviewed By LiveLoveTravelNow
A short hike through the woods and across a creek from the Storm King Ranger Station brings you to these wonderful falls. An early arrival ensures you small crowds and a time to view the falls without feeling rushed. The trail is mostly flat except for the final bit where stairs rise to the falls view platform. Photos are best taken from the viewing platform.

Snoqualmie Falls is one of Washington state's most popular scenic attractions. More than 1.5 million visitors come to the Falls every year. At the falls, you will find a two-acre park, gift shop, observation deck, the Salish Lodge and the famous 270 foot waterfall.

We were delighted to see Snoqualmie Falls!! An hour from Seattle and only 45 minutes from the SEATAC Airport, the little town of Snoqualmie is charming; the Falls are spectacular; Salish Lodge is wonderful as is the Dining Rooms at Salish Lodge. The Falls are 100 feet higher than Niagra Falls (but not as wide). They range from a two stream to a six stream depending on rain and control from the river. It's a gorgeous area with mature forest. It is well worth the visit!!!! Bring a raincoat as there is a spray from the falls or you may have a bit of rain.
