The road between Longmire and Paradise is winding and steep, and was designed for scenery rather than speed. Open late May to early October. Campground reservations required. Christine Falls, 3.5 miles from Longmire. A short walk from the pullout provides a classic view of the falls through the bridge opening.
Parking is limited.
Park in a paved pullout and use the walkway. The lower end of the Nisqually Glacier is just around the rocky cliff on the left side as you look up the valley. Walk the steep but short trail for the best view. Parking is limited. Exhibits, films, guided interpretive programs, book store, food service, gift shop, and restrooms.
