This trail was pretty busy the day we went considering it was raining. This hike is a favorite among many family with tiny humans, it's also great for anyone that wants a easy day hike with a stunning view. The descent to the base of the falls is a 70 foot drop.I would suggest getting there early would be a good idea so you can get a parking spot and the trail not be crowed.

I love this bridge!

The trail follows the south fork of the Snoqualmie River for about a mile. In this area we saw a family playing in the wearing wetsuits.

There are several slower moving spots on the creek that are great for little guys to touch the water.

It was most defiantly a rain boots and jacket kind of day some how his shirt got a little wet.

This water fall is beautiful but it's a little difficult to take a little guy super close to it because the rocks are slippery and at a slop.

While hiking with my son I've learned some helpful trick to keep him happy.
