Drive Around Information
Tacoma to MRNP - Comet Falls - Paradise - Sunrise - Back to Tacoma
Wednesday, September 4th 2002

After a few weeks of preparation, it was time to drop off my two buckets of food at the Paradise and Sunrise Ranger Stations. Droping food off at Paradise was a little strage (for the Rangers). I guess most hikers don't leave food at the Paradise Ranger Station (aka Visitors Center), they choose Longmire instead.
On my way around Mt Rainier, I stopped at Comet Falls, located on the South Side of Rainier. Round Trip Hike of 3.8 Miles. (Drive 10 miles past the Nisqually Entrance - Parking lot is on the left side of the road.)


Comet Falls is 320 feet of beauty.



This is the permit I received from the ranger at Longmire.
