Snoqualmie Pass is a small region packed with natural landmarks and recreational opportunities galore. Lying east of Seattle, the Pass follows the major east-west highway, the I-90, through the Cascade Mountains. The 270-foot waterfall at Snoqualmie Falls is a stunning area attraction and can be viewed from the observation deck looking down, as well as from the base looking up. Thanks to on-site accommodation, visitors to the falls can enjoy a day or multi-day adventure. For avid skiers, the Summit at Snoqualmie ski hill is a 45-minute drive from metro Seattle and offers a variety of services and lodgings. Summer at Snoqualmie is a great time for trail riding, hunting and fishing, and some local hiking trails provide access to the international Pacific Crest Trail. History buffs appreciate the numerous museums located in this region, including the Northwest Railway Museum.
