SNOQUALMIE FALLS & FARMS
HALF DAY

Inclusions:
Hotel pick-up and drop off, highly qualified naturalist guide, travel in adventure-outfitted luxury Mercedes or Jeep, scrumptious afternoon tea, refreshments, all entry fees and comprehensive naturalist commentary.

Escape Plan:
Start the day off with a short drive across Lake Washington and along Lake Sammamish up into the Cascade foothills to our region's self-named Mountains to Sound Greenway, straddling Interstate 90, in the heart of Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. With the adventurous day before us we stop to view the breath taking Snoqualmie Falls and experience up close and personal the 268’ falls tumbling over granite cliffs into the emerald canyon below. This place is overflowing with peaks, lakes, rivers and streams and the perfect region to enjoy the outdoors year around. Depending on conditions, your guide will pick the Trail of the Day and embark on an interpretive hike through a northwest mountain trail experiencing the season’s beauty and the adaptive ecosystem! Track and spot wildlife and birds, all the while making sure we take time just taking in some magical scenery. Your naturalist guide will also share their vast knowledge of ecology, backcountry sustainability and wilderness survival skills. You will also witness a grand landscape in motion - as seen from a geological perspective, your guide will describe the forces that have shaped the land, which only adds to the pleasure of the remarkable panorama.

Finish the day off with a scenic drive through the Snoqualmie Valley! Once renowned for its numerous dairy farms, including the world-famous Carnation Dairy, the fertile Snoqualmie River Valley remains a highly productive farming community with many of the farms practicing organic or other sustainable methods.
