Christine, Narada and Ruby Falls

On my way to Reflection Lakes at Mt Rainier National Park, I stopped at Christine, Narada and Ruby Falls, all short walks. There are two pullouts on either side of the bridge where Christine Falls is located. Upper Christine Falls can be seen along the side of the road on the bridge.
From the pullout on the upperside of the bridge is a very short path where lower Christine Falls can be viewed.
Further up the road is a parking lot for Narada Falls, the trail is about 0.25 miles with 100 ft of loss/gain
Shortly after turning onto the road going towards Reflection Lakes and Stevens Canyon, the road crosses a bridge over the Paradise River, soon there is a very small turnout on the right side of the road. From here it is a short walk back towards the bridge where a trail leads down, eventually to Narada Falls. Ruby Falls can be seen shortly along the trail as it drops below the bridge.
