Myrtle Falls is one of the most popular destinations for visitors at Paradise. On summer weekends, consider taking the FREE park shuttle from Longmire or one of the major campgrounds. Otherwise, parking choices might be limited and ad almost a mile to the walk (not really a bad thing, since views along the road are nice too).
Once at the visitor center, look for signs for the Skyline Trail. It is a longer loop trail that provides excellent vistas, but to reach the falls, hike the loop counter-clockwise. The falls are on the south east portion of the loop, and the shortest route there is marked by small placards along the trail.
