This image was taken from the upper viewpoint at Snoqualmie Falls, with a view of Salish Lodge and Spa.
To access this spot, you first need to park in either the free parking lot across the street from the lodge and waterfall (47.542927, -121.836018) or at the paid parking lot next to the lodge and waterfall (47.543338, -121.837049).
If you are parking in the free lot, walk across the bridge that goes over the road and then head to the right for views of the waterfall. The upper viewing platform is where you'll find this particular perspective.
