Waterfall on Mt. Rainier
While hiking around Mr. Rainer (for a few weeks, and eventually climbing to the top), discovered these unnamed unmarked falls back behind a saddle in a deep ravine. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4112/4845103561_0c2571919f_b.jpg LOL! |

I guess their name would pretty well have to be "Umbrella Falls". Bob I thought "Fishtail Falls" would be a more fitting name. There are already dozens of falls called "Umbrella". But I could care less what name they are given (or perchance already have). |

But I could care less what name they are given (or perchance already have). I'm 99% certain that this is Martha Falls. Were you hiking in Stephens Canyon below Bench and Snow Lakes? More like he was hiking through old copies of _National Geographic_ with his scanner by his side. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

So this comes as no real surprise. LOL! |

Could be! http://www.aaronswaterfallworld.com/marthafalls.htm "Martha Falls is one of the best falls in Mt. Rainier that can be easily viewed. Unicorn Creek drops over 600' in a series of drop highlighted by a 125' tall fan shaped drop near the top and the final 150' plunge into Stevens Canyon. There isn't really anywhere to see the entire falls clearly, but the view from the side of the road is pretty nice by itself." Note that the photo shows nearly identical framing. |

What's the matter, TROLL, jealous that you weren't invited on that trek? No, I was just wondering, was it a newly discovered waterfall, found on a 2 week wilderness trek, or the most easily viewed scenic fall on the mountain as seen from the road? |

No, I was just wondering, was it a newly discovered waterfall, found on a 2 week wilderness trek, or the most easily viewed scenic fall on the mountain as seen from the road? When I hike I try to never follow roads nor others' trails, it's why I usually get photos that nobody else has ever taken. Tourist-traps be damned. What's the big deal if there was some minor road somewhere above or below where I was hiking? If that is indeed the same falls. It sure looks like it is but I can't say with 100% certainty. I take a photo and move on to find more. |

If a wilderness hiker paid that little attention to his surroundings, he might not survive long. If you get lost out of range of a cell tower, knowing where the nearest road is may be your best hope. But it sounds as though you don't even carry a map. Bob |
