Note: Some photos of signs in the park are a bit big and may take a moment to upload on your monitor, but Karen Duquette wanted those photos big enough that they could be read because signs provide important information about the area and the falls.

Below: Snoqualmie Falls as seen from the lower level boardwalk.

Below: The narrow, raging river and a tree branch stuck on a rock from earlier when the river ran higher.

Below: Kayakers trying to get upstream towards the fall, but did not succeed to get past some of the rocks.

Below: This is a view from the boardwalk, and it is also the area where Karen Duquette and her sister Ilse Blahak walked over the rocks and into the water, as shown further below on this page.

Below: In both of the photos shown below that were taken from the boardwalk, there is a measuring stick to measure the height of the river. In the smaller picture, Lee Duquette is on the boardwalk viewing platform.

Below: Karen Duquette and her sister Ilse Blahak decided to walk on the rocks and into the river.

Below: Ilse and Lee took a picture of each other at the same time. The walk to the river involved a short steep trail, then walking over lots of big rocks, as seen where Lee is sitting.

Below: Karen Duquette and her sister carefully maneuvered over the rocks.

Below: Karen Duquette and her sister with their feet in the water. Ilse was barefoot but Karen kept her hiking sneakers on.

Below: Karen Duquette decided to wade a bit in the river. Ilse only got her feet wet.

Below: From her vantage point on the rocks, Ilse Blahak took a few photos of the river as it flowed downstream.
