It's not in Mt. Rainier. Iron Creek Falls, just south of the road to Windy Ridge, off of FR 25 near Mt. St. Helens.

That's one of the better pictures I've seen of it. Gonna have to get back down that way soon.
Thanks for the ID. It's funny, the photo is from an article on MRNP. Strange it's not actually in the park. It looks like a completey different fall in high flow. I tend to prefer my waterfalls at lower flows for most of them. They're more about grace than power for me. I looked around on your website at MRNP area falls and found this one I really want to visit. Very nice.
Lower Devil Creek is a really nice one. The setting is pretty hard to beat. There's also Devil Creek Falls, about 4/10 mi. upstream. A while ago, I very quickly scouted the route to a point where a bit of brush bashing would be necessary, but it definitely looks do-able (probably pretty easy too). I would have made a stab at the upper falls last June, but it was freakin' SNOWING when I was there...IN JUNE!
The only problem is Lower Devil Creek Falls could be difficult to get to when the creek is high, and the upper falls wouldn't be very interesting when it's low. I guess that's what sandals are for...
BTW - Anyone who wants to spend some time at Boulder Cave, in addition to the falls, should hike up/down Devil Creek Canyon (no trail) when the water is low (downstream of Boulder Cave). It's really cool.
