Narada Falls, Waterfall in Mount Rainier National Park, United States
Description
Narada Falls is a waterfall in Mount Rainier National Park featuring two distinct tiers that descend approximately 57 meters down a rocky slope. The water flows over dark stone and creates varying visual displays depending on the season and water flow conditions.
History
The name was given in 1893 during a Mount Rainier exploration expedition and references a local philosophical society. The falls have since become a well-visited feature within the park.
Culture
The name derives from a Hindu sage, reflecting the spiritual connection between natural formations and Eastern philosophical traditions in American landmarks.
Practical
The falls are accessible via a dedicated parking area along Mount Rainier Highway with multiple viewing spots at different distances. A short walking path connects these viewpoints and allows visitors to approach the base of the falls.
