Comet Falls is a tall tiered waterfall in Washington, dropping 320 ft (98 m).
Comet Falls sits on Van Trump Creek. It lies in Pierce, Washington. The site is on public land managed by Mount Rainier National Park (NPS).
This is a moderate hike waterfall: a longer day hike, roughly one to several miles each way. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 3.8 miles round trip. The nearest town is Ashford.
When to go: Summer (Jul-Sep) once the trail is snow-free. Like most waterfalls, Comet Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
