Snoquamie Pass [USA]

I had a great time few days ago exploring Snoquamie Falls and Snowquamie Pass which is about 1hour drive east of Seattle, about 90km.

En route to Snoquamie Pass Ski field

Snoquamie falls is the big and high waterfall located here. It looks so huge and so powerful, many people come here for the waterfall view

Snoquamie pass is the skiing area, Google map is here, this season is quite crowded as people come from nearby areas to ski. It is a very beautiful and attractive place I have laid my eyes on so far after my arrival in Washington State.

Compared to Queenstown of New Zealand, a paradise for skiers and very famous in Southern hemisphere for its adventurous activities, I found this area is quite extraordinary with the Christmas trees covered by snow. It is white everywhere and it looks like magic.
