Where the Waterfalls Are
Buckley sits in or near the Mount Rainier and the South Cascades area of Washington. Mount Rainier's glaciers feed dozens of streams that drop off the volcano's flanks, and the park and the surrounding foothills hold more named falls than any other part of the state. Narada Falls, a two-tiered cascade beside the road to Paradise, is among the most visited. Near Eatonville, Little Mashel Falls lies in forested foothills. Farther south, Skamania County takes in the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, where Falls Creek Falls is reached by a forest trail near Carson. Clark County's Moulton Falls, on the East Fork Lewis River, is a popular local park with a high arched bridge. Read the Washington waterfall guide.
