    The "East Side" has extensive agriculture land, natural areas and unique landmarks. Today, you'll start in Snoqualmie, Washington, head north to Carnation, and head back west.

This waterfall is a magnificent sight all on its own, but fans of the 1990s cult television show Twin Peaks will get a particular kick out of this landmark.
