Life is Better in Color – On the Snoqualmie River

Last weekend on a cold and crisp, clear, sunny day, we headed east to visit the small towns and parks that surround the Snoqualmie River and Falls. In my last post, I drained the color from the landscape and the scenery became almost frightful, so I thought I’d better show you the world as it really is – in living color.

Snoqualmie Falls is much more beautiful lit up by sunshine and fall foliage. Did you know you could drive to the bottom? Much easier than taking the hike down from above.

Afterwards, we had lunch in the small town of Carnation, then stopped by Tolt-MacDonald for a walk in the park.

We crossed the suspension bridge and the river flowed calm and shallow underneath, after a low-water summer.

We’re barely half-way through fall, but we have frost in the mornings and snow has arrived in the foothills of the Cascades, heralding winter to come.

That’s all for now.
