Many visitors to Mount Rainier National Park who travel from Longmire to Paradise don’t bother to stop for a moment to see Narada Falls. Too bad for them.

This scenic waterfall is where the Paradise River plunges 188 feet, sending up a cool spray that is a welcome treat on those rare hot summer days inside the park.

Hikers leaving Longmire can make a nearly 9-mile round trip to Narada Falls and back, crossing bridges over the Nisqually River at Cougar Rock and over the Paradise River before the trail goes uphill toward the waterfall.
