Trail description

A steep 2.8 km climb of about 400 m from the Longmire to Paradise road to Comet Falls, on Van Trump Creek in Mount Rainier National Park. The falls are thought to be the finest in the Mount Rainier region, plunging 98 m out of a hanging valley in one leap. Two smaller tiers lie below the main drop, with another just visible above it.
