Water Source: Tributary of the Paradise River

Waterfall Description: This veil-like cascade descends the side of Mazama Ridge at the head of the Paradise Valley, falling roughly 150 feet to the creek bed below. The falls are named for Sluiskin, the Yakama Indian who guided Mount Rainier’s first summit climbers, Hazard Stevens and P.B. Van Trump, to the site of their timberline base camp near the top of these falls in August 1870.

Viewing Location: It is best viewed from a distance, along the lower, eastern portion of the Skyline Trail past Myrtle Falls, and is visible from most of the Paradise area.
