Fantastic Waterfall in Three Sections
We hiked to Twin Falls while visiting the area. Part of Olallie State Park, the trailhead for Twin Falls is off 159th street. Note that a discovery pass is required to park at the trailhead. From here, it's about 1.5 miles on a moderate trail to the beautiful waterfall. When approaching the waterfall, there is a spur to the left that leads to a viewpoint of the lowest drop. At over 100 feet, it's really impressive. We visited during low water, so more of the rock was exposed and I thought it was just fantastic. Back on the main trail, it's a short ways to a bridge over the river with a view of the middle drop. A little further up the trail is a view of the upper section of the falls. We found a scramble path from here that led down to the base, but needed to use a rope for the final descent. Overall, a really great waterfall that was more impressive than I expected.

Great way to escape the city
Wanted to get out exercising but needed a break from the city. Step in Twin Falls and loved it. It’s provides cool shade on record heat days and a great workout. Only take away is I wish there were more signage. Had a lot of hikers ask what was further or what was this way etc. almost missed a great view of waterfall because it was just a set of stairs on the side with no sign. (Lesson: explore everywhere).

Go a little farther for best views!
At the trailhead, they suggest it is .8 miles to the first overlook and then 1.3 miles to a closer view of the falls. Both are must-see views. The hike to the first overlook is easy with a short switchback climbing to the first view. Going all the way to the falls, there are stairs and some ups and downs that provide a good workout. You can go past the second overlook turnoff and experience a bridge over the top of the falls along with some "hidden" falls from the first two views. The wooden paths and staircases are helpful and safe. We passed many families hiking with young children and lots of dogs on leashes. The falls are tall and the views are well worth the effort.
