Franklin Falls






Last weekend we went for a delightful hike with our friends the Caughlans (Anne, Sean, Caitlin & Dillon) to Franklin Falls, near Snoqualmie Pass. The hike was only about a mile each way and was pretty easy for little kids. It is a very popular destination, and consequently there are some places where all the boots and sneakers have created some fairly severe erosion. However, in many places there are puncheons to deal with the erosion, and I get the impression that a lot of work is being done on the trail.

The destination is pretty spectacular--a 70 foot waterfall that empties into a beautiful little pool. This was a perfect hike for a hot summer day!
