There’s no way to sugarcoat it, Washington — social distancing and self-isolating are not fun, especially in the springtime when our beautiful state is coming back to life. But this too shall pass, and when it does, our nature trails will be waiting for you. If you’re looking for a trail that will help you ease back into hiking when the time comes, check out the Franklin Falls. You’ll love where you end up.
The trail is well-marked and easy to find -- there's even a parking lot by the trailhead.
Other than some small elevation gains and a brief climb down to the waterfall viewing area, it's very even-keeled.

Almost as soon as you leave the sound of the South Fork Snoqualmie River drowns out the noise of I-90.

This waterfall hits its peak in the summertime, but there's never a bad time to see it.
The upper two drops are north of I-90, and the bottom tier is this 70-foot drop.
There's an overpass right above the waterfall, but you'll feel like you're miles and miles from civilization.
If you want to get a great parking spot and avoid crowds, get there early in the morning, preferably on a weekday.
