This is one of the spectacular waterfalls, I have ever seen. Due to the melting of ice these days, on the mountains, the waterfalls is full of water. I think this is one of the easiest to see, with about 100 feet walk.
But going down the trail, for about 3/4 mile, you will be able to goto the base of the waterfall.
One of the amazing things in this waterfall is that, there is a hydro-power plant at the top of the falls. And the water coming out from that plant, is going through a the rock, through a man made hole, and comes out at the base the waterfall. According to a veteran I met, this was done prior to World war II.
The beauty of the waterfall and the view of the surrounding area is great. If I were to recommend the best places to visit, Snoqualmie falls will be one of them for sure.

If you have time, don't forget to visit the factory outlets in North Bend, which is like 15 mins away.
