Christine Falls, Mt Rainier National Park, Washtington
Our next stop at at Mount Rainier National Park was the beautiful Christine Falls. An awesome little bridge passes right in front of it and then over the river, and then you can also go below the falls and get some great shots.

I loved all the little side waterfalls where the water trickled down stair-step rocks.

Back at the main falls, the bridge let you get close to where the water was pouring down into the hole below and carving away at the rocks.

GOOD NEWS OF THE DAY: A day of resting and relaxing today!
