Teneriffe Falls
Snoqualmie Region
Teneriffe Falls is flowing strongly as of early May 2026. The trail's lower section is in good condition, but the upper mile becomes increasingly rocky and unstable, requiring careful footing and hiking poles, as noted in reports from May 7 and May 2-3. Minor trail obstacles, including a few downed trees, are present but generally easy to navigate (reported April 26, April 4).
The Teneriffe Falls Connector Trail has been noted as closed in recent reports (March 29, April 18), though some hikers have still accessed it. Parking can be full, especially on weekends, with reports from April 26 and April 25 indicating the lot fills by mid-morning. The falls themselves are spectacular and well worth the effort.
