Historical Background

In June 1976, the Highways Department made available to the Commission a piece of property that united a number of Commission holdings in the area. This became Olallie, which is the Chinook jargon word for berry. The area abounds in huckleberries. Olallie includes Garcia Recreation Area, Snoqualmie Pass Wagon Road Heritage Area and Twin Falls Natural Area.

Facilities

A hydro-electric power plant and weir is located at Weeks Falls, with parking, viewpoints to the river and falls, and approximately 1/4 mile interpretive trail and 2 vault toilets. Parking areas have been established at both ends of the Twin Falls Trail. Each parking area has two vault toilets. The park has a residence and storage building. A second hydro-electric power plant is underground near Twin Falls.
