Christine Falls, Waterfall in Mount Rainier National Park, United States
Description
Christine Falls is a waterfall in Mount Rainier National Park that cascades over Van Trump Creek in two distinct tiers. The water drops over rocky ledges along a marked trail, creating a natural feature that changes appearance with the seasons.
History
The falls became part of the protected landscape when Mount Rainier National Park was established in 1899. The designation has ensured the waterway and surrounding forest remain unchanged through the decades.
Culture
Each season brings photographers and nature enthusiasts to capture the changing characteristics of the falls through various photographic techniques and perspectives.
Practical
You can reach the falls by walking a short distance from the parking area on a marked trail that is easy to follow. The volume of water is greatest in spring and early summer when snow from the mountains melts.
