Waterfall Wednesday — Visiting Snoqualmie Falls, 1st glimpse

Do you love Twin Peaks?

My wife and I visited Snoqualmie Falls in Washington state on the 24th of July, 2012, during our Amtrak Coast Starlight vacation. We stayed at the Salish Lodge, a fantastic hotel with a superb restaurant. Exterior shots of the falls and the hotel are prominently featured in the edgy TV masterpiece, Twin Peaks.

Another glimpse of our Snoqualmie Falls visit coming next Wednesday!
