Join us as the Totems Take A Hike to Franklin Falls!
"Buy" a free ticket. It's for our headcount so we know how many hikers to prepare for.
Get ready to hit the trails with your fellow Totems for a fun-filled morning as SHS 1974 grad, Karen Kilian, leads us on a two-mile hike to Franklin Falls. We'll meet at the Franklin Falls Trailhead on Fri Aug 02 2024 between 8:00 and 8:30 AM to start our adventure.
Don't forget to pack your hiking boots, water bottle, and camera to capture the stunning views along the way. This is a great opportunity to connect with nature, meet new friends, and get some exercise in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
Whether you're a seasoned hiker or just starting out, this event is perfect for all skill levels. So grab your gear and join us for a day of fun on the trails!
AND, if you work up a thirst or an appetite on the hike, join us for cold one and/or lunch at Dru Bru Tap Room (10 Pass Life Way #3 in Snoqualmie Pass)
Frequently asked questions
It's for the organizers to know how many hikers to count on and to make sure we don't leave without someone. We will also want to get a head count on the way back. There's no charge, but we can serve you much better with an accurate headcount. So please "Buy" a free ticket.
No, a water bottle is always recommended but we'll be gathering at Dru Bru afterwards to get refreshed and maybe a burger.
NOT RECOMMENDED. Giardia is a real hazard, so bring your refillable water bottles full of water. 12 oz will probably be fine, but Carry as much as you are comfortable, someone else might need a sip or two.
No, you can wear a bikini if you're comfortable, but good sturdy shoes are always the right choice. Hiking shoes/boots are the best. We don't want anyone rolling an ankle. As to shirts, pants/shorts etc, the old mantra, "dress in layers" holds true
Franklin Falls is a very popular hike and we'd like to be on the trail early since we're a big group. We'll be back before the big rush and we can make our way to more fun afterwards.
Franklin Falls is a Dog Friendly hike. Yes, you can bring your canine hiking partner but they must remain on leash the entire time and you will be expected to pack out everything they..., well if you have a dog, you know what I mean.
Yes, we'll do our best to get some fun casuals with our phones, and can even upload them to our reunion Instagram site. When we reach the falls there is a large gravel area, (if most of the snowmelt has already passed) and we'll gather for a group shot.
This hike is easy but has roots, steps with no handrails, and very uneven terrain. Our friends with challenges may want to meet up at the trailhead or wait and hang out at Dru Bru taproom at the Summit when we get back from the falls.
No, it's a very nice hike, it is categorized as "EASY" in All Trails. It has 344 ft of elevation change and the way back is downhill!
