Skyline Trail to Myrtle Falls

Distance: 1 mile round trip  

A short, paved path leads to one of the most photographed spots in the park, Myrtle Falls. This horsetail waterfall plunges 72 feet into a gorge carved by Edith Creek. Although the trail is fine for strollers, the path down to the viewpoint is very steep, and you might have to take turns going down there without the stroller. Park in the lot at the Henry M. Jackson Memorial Visitor Center at Paradise, and from there take the Skyline Trail east.

Next trail: Naches Peak Loop
