Review:
Wonderland Trail is one of Mount Rainier National Park’s most popular backpacking trails, located within its southeast region near Steven’s Canyon.
The eight-mile round-trip trail begins at a trailhead at Steven’s Creek and offers chances to see Martha and Sylvia Falls along its route, which reaches a peak elevation of 3,750 feet. The trail traverses a fir and cedar forest region before reaching the Maple Creek camp and crossing bridges to waterfall access points. Sylvia Falls features a 43-foot drop, while Martha Falls, named for the daughter-in-law of park luminary James Longmire, showcases a final drop of more than 120 feet. Visitors should note that photography at Sylvia Falls is difficult due to shadows and branches from the access viewpoint.
Wonderland Trail, 55210 238th Avenue East, Ashford, WA 98304
