The Twin Falls trail is in good condition with no snow reported as of October 20. The road is suitable for all vehicles. While the trail is generally easy and suitable for families, there are some obstacles and closures to be aware of. One of the lower viewpoints remains closed due to storm damage, as noted on September 27, and a recent slide above the trail has also caused a section to be roped off with a viewing platform closed as of October 20. However, other viewpoints, including a bridge viewing platform, are open and offer good views of the falls. Hikers should be mindful of minor obstacles such as a fallen tree or path blockages due to storm damage, reported on September 26. Parking can be limited, especially on weekends.

Beautiful early morning hike. The trail was in great condition, easy to follow, and mostly dry with no major obstacles. It was quiet when I started and a really enjoyable morning on the trail.
I parked at the Education Center past the Rattlesnake lot (bathrooms available). Got on the trail across the street. The trail is pretty flat. I think it gained about 300ft over the course of 5 miles....

This is a great easy short hike if you have only a few hours (less than an hour drive from Seattle and 1.5 hours for hiking). I got there at 3:30 pm. To my surprise, the parking lot was almost full. ...
