Upper Comet Falls

Upper Comet Falls is a waterfall in Pierce County, Washington. It is located along Van Trump Creek and is located a ways above Comet Falls. The falls may have been formed as a result of the floods of 2003 and 2006 that came down Van Trump Creek. There used to be a bridge spanning the creek just below the falls, but it has been out since the debris flows in 2001 washed it away. The falls are easily seen from where the bridge used to be.

Located at 46.7994, -121.778 (Lat. / Lng.), about 2 miles away.

Narada Falls

Narada Falls is a waterfall in Mount Rainier National Park, in the U.S. state of Washington.

The upper tier is a horsetail that falls in several strands down a nearly sheer cliff, into a canyon that is perpendicular to it. The lower tier is a much smaller plunge.

Located at 46.775, -121.746 (Lat. / Lng.), about 1 miles away.
