It was my first time to join a group tour. I felt very comfortable overall🤣without any pressure. The tour guide Anna was also very nice. She told a little story about each scenic spot. We set off on time so the itinerary was not too tight and the stay time was enough! You can still see a lot of snow at the end of June. It is really beautiful if the weather is good!!!

Snoqualmie falls and the forest are very beautiful, the itinerary has 3 stops, lower falls stop, upper falls stop and a 1.5 hour forest trail to see the twin waterfalls. The forest trail is very pretty but it is up a hill, so may not be suitable for elderly guests and hiking sticks are recommended

The scenery is very beautiful and the tour guide will pay attention to the safety of everyone along the way. I went there in January, about -2 degrees, so I recommend bringing sunglasses and gloves.

This national park is so beautiful. In the winter❄️ season, the beautiful snow scenery is so surprising. I am very happy to participate in this trip.
