Taylor River - Otter Falls
Snoqualmie Region
As of June 22, 2026, the Taylor River Trail to Otter Falls is generally in good condition with some recent improvements noted. The road to the trailhead is now well-maintained and passable for all vehicles, with parking availability noted as good on weekdays and moderate on weekends.
Recent reports from mid-June indicate ongoing trail work, with pink ribbons marking routes through some areas impacted by past debris and washouts. While most stream crossings are manageable with careful rock hopping, one report from June 9th stated a final stream crossing was impossible due to high water from recent rain. However, this may be temporary. A significant washout at approximately 3.5 miles requires scrambling over boulders and roots. Trail obstacles like blowdowns are present but generally negotiable. Expect a pleasant forest walk leading to the impressive Otter Falls.
