Carter Falls & Madcap Falls along the Wonderland Trail on Mount Rainier can be reached from the Cougar Rock Campgrounds and Is a fun trail on a hot day.
I was not sure what to expect but was surprised by the cool bridge and then more surprised by the 2 waterfalls. I would have liked to hike all the way to Narada falls but I ran out of time and had to go back to camp. I did visit what I think was Paradise River Camp but posted all over were signs that the camp was closed because of dangerous trees.
I would recommend the trail but note that the waterfalls are not really as accessible as others on the mountain but I enjoyed it.
