With Mount Rainier as its backdrop, this 72-foot high waterfall is a popular spot for photographers and hikers. Its easy accessibility from Paradise Inn adds to its allure, making it an iconic destination worth exploring.

Beautiful hiking area that is well signposted. There is a parking lot and a visitor center from where the hike can begin. You have to make sure you wear good clothes and, above all, good shoes. Very beautiful landscape and lots of nature and originality.
