I highly recommend this tour - I had a fantastic time visiting Snoqualmie Falls! Although the he morning tour was cancelled, I was able to join the afternoon one. Our tour guide, John, might not have been the most knowledgeable about the area, but he more than made up for it with his character and down-to-earth demeanor. He shared some interesting stories and clearly had a lot of outdoor experience. John provided us with all the essential facts and ensured we were well taken care of with snacks and water. I highly recommend this tour and would love to do it again someday. The area is stunning and could easily accommodate a longer tour.

Wonderful hike through Pacific Northwest - I recommend this hike to anyone that enjoys hiking. It is good introduction to the Pacific Northwest.
The hike is east of Seattle in the mountains so we had to travel about 30 to 40 minutes from Seattle to the twin falls trailhead. We hiked with our wonderful guide Gemma along a beautiful stream to two wonderful waterfalls including twin falls.
The hike contained several hills so it is a challenge for people who do not hike often. The hike was about 3 miles and took about two hours. The trail had some muddy spots so wear shoes that can get muddy.
After the hike we visited the much larger and equally beautiful Snoqualmie falls which is a short easy walk from a roadside parking lot.
We returned to Seattle which took about 45-minutes.
