Snoquera Falls Loop
Mount Rainier Area
As of July 10, 2026, the Snoquera Falls Loop is largely clear of snow. Recent reports indicate the trail is in good condition with some debris fields from rock slides (July 10). However, hikers should be aware of downed trees, particularly a large one requiring scrambling on the path to the falls (June 26) and other large logs needing to be climbed over or under, especially on the return leg (May 26, May 24, April 25).
The falls are flowing at a reduced level (June 26, May 26, April 18), making the water crossing below them easier (June 14, May 26, April 18). Be cautious of potential tick presence, especially when sitting near the falls (June 14, May 20). Parking is generally available, with early arrivals securing solitude (July 10, May 26).
