Comet Falls, Mount Rainier National Park

My favorite waterfall and waterfall hike in all the PacNW! The hike itself isn’t a tail kicker and it’s absolutely gorgeous along the way. As of 7-8-22 the trail is totally clear of snow all the way up to Comet Falls. 5/5 highly recommend! @nothin_but_views

Couldn't even make it half way up before feeling like I was going to pass out. It is definitely not easy for an amateur hiker...

One of the best hikes for me in WA. I’d rate it as challenging but worth it. Wear sturdy boots, bring hiking poles, and do it in late July through September on a sunny day. Try and make it just beyond the maintained trail and you’ll be rewarded with stunning beauty. Plan for 4-5 hours round trip.

As of June 20th, 2021- The bridge to get to Comet Falls has been washed out. But there two logs that have been placed that you can walk on to get across. Even someone as unbalanced as me had no issues crossing so don’t worry too much. Of course cross at your own risk. Even if you fall - the water at the crossing area is shallow. I have uploaded a video of the crossing to give you a better idea of what the crossing is like. Have a wonderful hike! :)

Excellent little hike, trail is a little steep in places but well worth it once you reach the falls. I especially enjoyed the cooling mist from the falls as it was a exceptionally hot day the day I hiked it. I highly recommend the hike, it was very beautiful up there!
