A small, less developed campground for tent camping only, located at the confluence of Twin Falls Creek and the Lewis River. The campground is placed on the banks of the river with an impressive view of the falls. Nearby Summit Prairie Trail #2. 5 walk-in sites available.
Forest Road 90, just up the road past 42 mile point marker, turn down gravel road. The road winds down to the campground. Confined turn around.
The waterfall was great and the walk was nice and green with a nice forest. The hike wasn't too bad - just over 1.5 hours total but lots of elevation changes and hills, so much more strenuous than I expected. Get there before 9 or there will be no parking. Earlier of possible on the weekend.
Its the easy hike to start over just 1 hour away from Seattle in snowqualmie river, hiked with my 2.5 year old, had to carry her on my shoulders as we were not carrying our bag pack, not a stroller friendly hike please make sure you are carrying a backpack if hiking with younger kids, fall views are okay okay, looks great from the distance from first lookout point. We went on a sunny day so trail was okay but it will definitely be muddy during rains. Best to hike early morning or late evening because it gets crowded during the day lot of people and kids you can see on hiking trail.
A very pretty hike. It is moderate hike, not too difficult or long. Great for kids 5 and above. Beyond the bridge, it might get harder for kids though, due to the increase in steepness. This hike had many scenic stop and resting spots and was over all a good hike.
I have hiked this trail many times now. It is my absolute favorite! The colors in early October are just to die for. There is a gorgeous new view around every corner. Many small waterfalls on the way up and so many view points. My son was able to hike it just fine. The trail is well maintained and well worth the hike. We always sit on the rocks and eat lunch at the top with a great view of the falls. I recommend this trail to anyone.
I have been coming to visit family for years, and this was my first time coming to Twin Falls for a hike. Loved it! Make sure you have a parking permit, come ready to have a bite on the paths. Dog friendly, the water was so refreshing on a hot summer day. Recommended!
