Christine Falls
Probably the most photographed waterfall in a park blessed with many.
This lower portion of Christine Falls tumbles 37 feet. It is just one of several impressive falls along Van Trump creek. The creek flows from the Van Trump glacier on it's way down steep terrain to the Nisqually river. One of the special visual and aural treats in Rainier National Park.
A little history:
"The falls were named in honor of Christine Van Trump, the daughter of P. B. Van Trump. In 1889 Christine, then nine years old, accompanied her father on an ascent of Mount Rainier, as far as her strength would allow. She made it to the 10,000-foot (3,000 m) level, even though she had a crippling nervous disorder."
