Quick Facts
Location:
Longmire Area
Water Source: Van Trump Creek
Waterfall Description: This waterfall includes a series of cascades, with the tallest drop about 65 feet high. The upper tiers are partly obscured by the canyon walls.
Viewing Location: Also known as Bloucher Falls, Van Trump Falls is located just before Comet Falls along the Comet Falls Trail. Parking for the trail is located 2 miles above Cougar Rock Campground on the road to Paradise. A strenuous hike of just under 1.9 miles passes by the falls before continuing to Comet Falls. It is best to wait until the snow has completely melted from the trail, as it can be treacherous until summer. .
