Franklin Falls

Franklin Falls is a three-tiered waterfall on the South Fork Snoqualmie River near Snoqualmie Pass in Washington and the first of the river’s three major waterfalls. In an unusual setting between the north and south lanes of Interstate 90 east of exit 47, its three sections drop about 135 feet in all: a 15-foot block-shaped fall, a 25-foot fanning cascade, and a final section that begins as a 25-foot slide before plunging over the 70-foot drop most visible from the base. Its stepped form and accessible mountain location have also made it a popular canyoneering destination.
