Wonderful waterfall and short trail
This place is such a gem! Since different hikers see things differently, I'll disagree with another review here and recommend taking the left fork in order to make the steep portion uphill rather than downhill. The cables make this easier in to climb up rather than down. In any case, the trail is less than 2 miles but you'll need about two hours to enjoy being up close to the falls - and for a side trip off the trail to the smaller falls slightly downstream. This trail is easy to get to and pretty well marked. The steep portion and the upper creek crossing on the rocks makes this trail just slightly difficult, with most of the trail easy - to - moderate. There may be other reviews showing this trail in a different location, but Grandview is correct. Firetower Rd is between Grandview and Spring City.

Great Waterfall and Trail
This is a little-known National Natural Landmark easily accessible by an interesting 1.7-mile loop trail. The waterfall is beautiful, and the trail actually winds behind the waterfall itself after crossing the creek at the top of the falls before a steep descent. The best way to approach is by going right at the fork so you can climb down the steep portion instead of up.
