Narada Falls

This magical waterfall – and popular Mt. Rainier tourist attraction – is located on the road from Longmire to Paradise, just one mile west of the entrance to the Paradise area. At 176 feet high, the falls have two distinct features: the top tier, and tallest at 159 feet is a horsetail fall, so described because it has multiple channels down the rock face.

Henry M. Jackson Visitor Center

Paradise is the most heavily visited area within the park for good reason. World-famous for its views and wildflower meadows. Take a hike and bring a picnic. Rising 14,410 feet above sea level, Mount Rainier, the king of the Cascade Range in western Washington, is a striking peak. Guarded by steep valleys and silt-filled rivers, the mighty volcano - with its sharp, pyramidal summit, broad snowfields, and deep glaciers - towers over a trackless and beautiful landscape.

During the summer, hikers must stay on trails at all times to protect the delicate subalpine meadows around the lake. Boating and fishing is not permitted in Reflection Lakes.
