Located entirely within the bounds of Mount Rainier National Park, it is notable for its waterfalls, of which there are eight.

After flowing out of Paradise Valley, the river drops over Ruby Falls and the Washington Cascades.

Not long after that, the river widens out and drops over probably the most famous and well known waterfall in the Mount Rainier area, Narada Falls, and soon after is crossed by the Mount Rainier Highway.
