Even as Comet Falls is billed as 'possibly the most dazzling falls in the Mt. Rainier National Park,' the trip can be even more extraordinary with a tad more hiking up to Van Trump Park where vast wildflower fields await. For two miles the trail climbs steadily up hill until it reaches the base of Comet Falls. From there it switchbacks .6 mile uphill to the junction with the Rampart Ridge Trail. Van Trump Park is to the right, where the trail winds through the meadows until it dead ends in .5 mile. Comet Falls Trail is a moderately difficult to difficult, 3.8 mile round-trip hike gaining 900 feet elevation and has a high point of 5200 feet. Allow three hours to complete. The trail is accessible mid-July through October.
