Franklin Falls




At Denny Creek Campground there are bathrooms
Time on the trail 3 hours
Length of trail: About 2 Miles
Elevation: 400 ft Gain

Don't forget to bring 10 Essentials for Hiking and Forestry Pass for your trip.

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.

Driving Directions

From Seattle, head east on I-90 to exit 47 Denny Creek/Tinkham Road. At the top of the exit ramp turn left and cross over the freeway. Go .2 miles and turn right at the stop sign onto Forest Road 58. The road crosses under the freeway and after .2 miles turn left. Continue ahead for 2.4 miles and take a left just after Denny Creek Campground and arrive at the Franklin Falls trailhead.
