Big Creek Falls
Snoqualmie Region
updated 1 week ago
The trail to Big Creek Falls is currently snow-free. While the road is suitable for all vehicles, some reports from August 7 indicated trees down across the trail and overgrown sections beyond the Nordrum/Snoqualmie Lake junction. The main trail to the falls, however, appears to be in good condition, with no significant obstacles mentioned in recent reports. Parking at the trailhead was about a quarter full in early November.
