About Myrtle Falls Trail

The walk starts beside the Paradise Inn on a paved stretch of the Skyline Trail, suitable for strollers and, with some help, wheelchairs. A short spur drops by stairs to a viewpoint over the waterfall, and a spot just back on the Skyline Trail frames Mount Rainier above Edith Gorge. The route can be under deep snow in winter.
