Narada Falls in Mt Rainier National Park

Narada Falls is a picturesque and easily accessible waterfall for visitors to Mt Rainier National Park. The falls are fed by Paradise River, then tumbling 168 feet on its main drop to a rocky jumble below.

Entrance signs are visible along Paradise Road, which is part of the main roads leading from the southwest park entrance and on up to Paradise. After parking, the tip edge of the falls can be seen from a viewpoint, but this is looking out over the edge and one must walk around to actually see the face of the falls. A short but semi-steep 0.2 mile trail crosses Narada Falls Bridge over the Paradise River and then winds down the valley to a straight-on viewpoint across from the waterfall.

Narada Falls flows year-round, fed from the perpetual ice and snow of Rainier. During the winter, the falls can freeze solid and be a popular destination for ice climbers.

Narada Falls is quite popular because of its beauty and ease of access, and is definitely worth a quick visit for anyone driving into Mt Rainier National Park.
