Paradise River

[Jameel Hyder]

Paradise river starts its journey up near the paradise glacier and is a major tributary of the Nisqually river. On its journey there are approx. eight waterfalls, Narada Falls being one of them. There is small bridge on the way down from Paradise area under which the river flows and an the other side there is a nice waterfall (I haven't seen a name for that anywhere). The image below is the river before it gets under the bridge.

Neat falls - how far is this from Ruby Falls?

Beautiful Jameel. If you drive the Paradise loop road, there is a hike trail on the north side that follows the Paradise river and probably makes a loop back to the Hotel. Lits of water pour offs along that trail

Very cool Jameel. The Paradise river is indeed cool.

Thanks Alisa

Turns out what I thought was an unnamed falls is actually Ruby Falls. And to think all these years I didn't know. Some people call this the upper Ruby Falls and the one down stream as Lower Ruby Falls.

Thanks Ben. There are quite a few falls this river goes over. The trail you mention is something I have done partially. Need to plan to do the longer version.

Thanks Jim.
