Beyond a sunlit knoll of grass and wildflowers, one of the most delicately beautiful cascades of the Cascades spills a steady volume of water off the flanks of Mount Rainier and into the surrounding temperate rain forest. Some waterfalls look great in the rain; while others make magic in the sunshine. This waterfall’s best exhibition is either in ghostly twilight, or wrapped in a rainbow on a sunny, early morning in late summer. Fortunately I caught the latter, with much less spray blowing this way than on other visits, and with remarkably few others around to distract from the experience.
