Christine Falls – Mt. Rainier National Park Washington

Christine Falls – Mt. Rainier National Park Washington

Christine Falls is located roughly 6 miles from the Longmire area, along the road to Paradise. This waterfall is located off of a roadside pullout and requires a very short walk to the overlook. This is a very busy pullout and you may need to wait for a parking spot to open up. If you’re entering Mt. Rainier National Park from the Nisqually entrance, Christine Falls viewpoint will likely be one of your first stops in the park, save for Longmire.

Major Marine Tour Review: Kenai Fjords National Park – Seward, Alaska

Major Marine Tour Review: Kenai Fjords National Park – Seward, Alaska

I’ll answer the question ‘Is the Major Marine Tour through Kenai Fjords Alaska worth the money?” You may think by the time you’ve finished reading this that we didn’t have a good time, and that’s not the case at all.

I’m not going to sugarcoat things. So with that said, let’s get on with the review and guide!
