Last weekend I had the pleasure of hiking along one of the most beautiful trails in Mt. Rainier National Park. The Comet Falls trail, over a distance of 1.8 miles climbs from the roadside trail head nearly 1700 feet as it closely follows the Van Trump Creek through gorges, beautiful forests, and massive rock slides until you are met with Bloucher Falls and finally Comet Falls. I hope you enjoy this themed gallery depicting photos from Van Trump Creek that I’ve taken over the course of several trips to Mt. Rainier National Park. Click on the waterfall image below to access the gallery or the family photo to see the compulsory “we were there” photo with all of us in front of Bloucher Falls.
Here is an additional link to a hike write-up. Shh.. don’t tell them that my pictures are better. 
These are amazing — they are stunningly gorgeous .. or, as they say in Memphis .. ya dun good !!
Thank you Katie. I really appreciate your comments.
