Depart from Snoqualmie's 1890 depot in vintage coaches, rolling slowly along the river to the top of the falls and back, about 75 minutes round trip; a row of old locomotives outside the depot is free to look at, plus a railway history center.

💡 Tips
Trains run weekends April through October (check the timetable, a few departures a day); tickets are about $24 for adults, half price for kids, free under 2. The Santa Train in November-December goes on sale in early October and sells out within days.
