Upper Twin Falls Viewpoint
Upper Twin Falls Viewpoint sits at 850 ft along the Mountains to Sound Greenway on I-90, facing 300 degrees. The terrain drops 158 ft within 600 meters of the overlook. Tanner is visible to the west-northwest, 2.2 miles away at 1,057 ft, and Canopy Crag lies to the northwest, 3.9 miles out at 1,059 ft. Because the view faces roughly toward the sunset side of the compass, it takes in evening light rather than direct sunset; sunset times range from 16:19 at the December solstice to 21:08 at the June solstice. Bellevue is 25.9 miles west-northwest, Seattle is 31.5 miles west-northwest, and Tacoma is 37.3 miles west-southwest. Owl Hike Spot precedes this overlook on the byway, and Lower Twin Falls Viewpoint follows it.
