South Fork of the Snoqualmie River
King County, Washington
August 2024
Franklin Falls, nestled in the rugged beauty of the Cascade Mountains in Washington State, is a hidden gem that feels like stepping into a fairytale. This cascading wonder is a 70-foot waterfall that plunges dramatically into a rocky gorge, surrounded by towering evergreens and lush ferns. What makes Franklin Falls especially captivating is the journey to get there—a scenic hike that winds through old-growth forests and alongside the rushing South Fork Snoqualmie River.
