   SMC FALLS

RATING - 5/10

TYPE OF APPROACH - Bike or Roadwalk

DIFFICULTY - Medium

LOCATION - Snoqualmie Tree Farm

TYPE - Tiered

HEIGHT - 100'

WIDTH - 35'

The creek that drains SMC Lake has at least two waterfalls on it and I suspect at least one more.  The top tier of SMC Falls drops right next to the road and is impossible to miss.  It drops about 60' in two drops, turning 90 degrees in the middle.  The lower tier is more difficult to see but worth the extra effort.  Here the creek runs over a beautiful fan-shaped waterfall before crashing onto the rocks and continuing its steep run towards the North Fork.

DIRECTIONS - From North Bend, turn north onto Ballarat Ave, which changes to 428th Ave, and then North Fork Rd.   Two miles after crossing the river, take the left at a Y in the road.  In 4 miles, pass the Spur 10 gate.  Park here and start riding your bike down the Spur 11 road towards the North Fork.  After crossing the river, turn right and follow this road for about 1.5 miles to a Y in the road.  Take the left hand fork and follow it uphill for another mile where the falls drops right next to the road.
