Living Coast 2 Coast

Franklin Falls is an awesome waterfall located between the eastbound and westbound lanes of Interstate 90 in Washington State. Join us we take the mile long hike to Franklin Falls.

The hike was not very hard but is not handicap accessible. Mom’s knee was bothering her and this is why she did not go with us.

The trail starts at creek level but then climbs a bit and ends back at creek level. The falls themselves are accessible and has a pool area that you could play around or possibly swim if the weather is warm enough. It was a rainy day and a bit chilly so we did not get into the water.

This is part of our Season 3 Part 2 and was filmed in the second half of 2019.

We are staying at Denny Creek Campground in Washington. We had Verizon and AT&T service which is always good.

We also took the time to walk down into Franklin Falls. The hike was almost 2.5 miles round trip. There are bathrooms at the beginning of the trail so you might wanna go then because there are not any further down the trail. The trail down into the falls was not that hard but it is not wheelchair accessible. When you get close to the falls the trail turns into a narrow rock ledge.
You could get right up to the falls but we didn’t get in the water and swim. We stayed at the edge of the pool at the bottom.

Wings Over Washington was really cool. I would definitely do that again.

The Volunteer Park was cool. I liked climbing on the trees and chasing squirrels around.

The Ferris Wheel on the pier was really cool. When you get to the top, you get a nice view of Seattle, Washington. Elizabeth wanted to go on the Ferris Wheel but at the top she was a little worried about falling but she still had fun.
