Franklin Falls is a popular destination for travelers over Snoqualmie Pass and has the unique characteristic of being located between the east and west-bound lanes of I-5.  There is more to the falls above the final plunge, but the 70' drop is the main draw here.  During high water, everything in the general vicinity of the falls gets wet thanks to the 3" deep pool the falls drop into.

DIRECTIONS - Follow the directions to Denny Camp Falls.  From there, continue driving up the road for a ways.  Just before a sharp switchback to the right, a small turnout will be seen on the left side of the road.  Follow the trail for a few hundred feet to the falls.
