Myrtle Falls is one of the most picturesque waterfalls in Mount Rainier National Park and an excellent destination for visitors looking for an easy scenic experience near Paradise. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Rainier, this beautiful waterfall is reached by a relatively short walk from the Paradise area, making it especially popular with families, photographers, couples, and first-time visitors to the park. The combination of rushing mountain water, evergreen forests, alpine vegetation, and views toward Mount Rainier creates a classic Pacific Northwest landscape that makes Myrtle Falls one of the most photographed waterfalls in the park.
The bridge and waterfall create a particularly beautiful composition for photography, especially when the surrounding landscape is illuminated by soft morning or afternoon light. During summer, seasonal wildflowers can add additional color to the landscape, while the surrounding forest provides a rich green backdrop. Visitors can enjoy the sound of the rushing water, take photographs from scenic viewpoints, and continue exploring the nearby trails and viewpoints around Paradise. Because of its accessibility and beautiful setting, Myrtle Falls is an excellent choice for travelers who want to experience spectacular Mount Rainier scenery without committing to a long hike.
For guests staying at Ridgeline Retreat in Ashford, Myrtle Falls can easily become part of a larger Paradise-area sightseeing day. Visitors can combine the waterfall with alpine meadows, scenic viewpoints, and other nearby attractions before returning to Ashford. Whether you're looking for things to do near Ashford, Washington, family-friendly Mount Rainier attractions, or beautiful photography locations, Myrtle Falls offers a memorable introduction to the natural beauty of the park.
