Waterfall Information
MPG V2.7, July 2010
One of the biggest photography interests for the range of photographers are waterfalls, especially the larger ones which are usually set up for easy visiting by tourists. There are some excellent ones in Mount Rainier National Park, which are easily accessible from visitors areas (parking with a short hike) or a longer hike if you are prepared (additional information).
A Foldout photography guide and map to southern half of Mt. Rainier NP, by Tom Haseltine, etal., has several of the easily accessible waterfalls on Highway 706 from either the Nisqually or Ohanapecosh Entrances. In addition, maps are available for each waterfall listed here in National Geographic Topo! Mapping software format and Adobe Acrobat PDF are available upon request.
Additional information for 200 waterfalls in and around the Park is available from Waterfalls Northwest. Some easily accessibles ones are on the map above and the list below, which uses the "Cr" for Creek, "R" for River, and "Tr" for tributary to listed river for the waterfall.
