Franklin Falls Winter Hike

 Nice cold day to see a frozen Franklin Falls off of I-90 before Snoqualmie Pass. This is usually a 2 mile round trip hike, but due to the snow and an abandon car blocking the road, I ended up parking near the freeway and doing a 3 mile snow covered road walk each way before reaching the trail head.

 View of Denny Creek from the bridge on the road.

Love how the snow covered rocks look like giant marshmallows!
















Another view of Denny Creek from the "trail".

Panorama view looking towards the falls and the icy walls on either side.

 There were some ice climbers went up this wall of ice today.

View back towards the trail and Denny Creek below the Falls.

 Beautiful icicles above the trail

 Sun came out as I hiked back down the trail.
