Attending the fan fest with my buddy Joe, we visited many of the iconic film locations including Salish Lodge and Snoqualmie Falls. Here are several photos from…
When Twin Peaks returned in 2017 to Showtime, the opening credits were updated with new footage from the Washington state area. One of the first images seen is tree covered mountains bathed in mist.
