Any great mountain adventures should start with a waterfall along the trail. The more waterfalls, the better the adventure! The beauty seen, the cool
breeze felt, rewards the soul hiker beginning to end. 

My friend and I set out on the Van Trump trail, named after Philemon Beecher Van Trump; best  known as the first person with a documented ascent of Mt Rainier along with Hazard Stevens back in 1870. The creek, trail and glacier are all named after P.B. V.T., even the falls below Christine are named after his daughter. Discussing plans for this trip we renamed the route VT trail as just hearing the word trump is a negative reminder of a different heartless man. Though the two people are completely unrelated. As a national park supporter & guide, I have witnessed how much the budget cuts have deeply impacted the park negatively. Still a worthy trail to pursue for the mountains beauty felt through out.

There are 3 named waterfalls in this approach, Christine Falls, Bloucher Falls and Comet Falls. Comet Falls certainly is the biggest and one of the grandest falls Ive seen within the Mt Rainier National Park boundary. There are hundreds of trails I have yet to do but feel this trail is one of the most scenic approaches up the mountain Ive found so far...

Two exciting things to share; yesterday I saw a big bear and today it rained! Washington finally getting some much needed water, we are running low everywhere and this state has a reputation for being wet. For example Paradise lodge & Inn inside Mt Rainier National Park ran out of water two weeks ago! Here is how Myrtle Falls flow was on July 6 compared to yesterday, September 28.

Thankfully big storm came in today, which put this black bear on a mission yesterday to eat all the berries left. I was guiding a group of six, we had the perfect viewpoint safely on a high ridge two creeks & valleys away. Forecast is calling for possibly a foot of snow (30cm) this week! Things are looking up already and its only Monday.
