- Ground & access
- Steep bushwhacking, bluffs and creek crossings with little cell coverage. The author’s north and south cascade coordinates are distinct from the inventory’s general Blue Hole pin.
AR Own Backyard describes a 2025 loop from Lindsey Motorway through Grapevine Shelter, then down to an old ATV track beside Hurricane Creek and the Blue Hole cascades. The return bushwhacks upstream toward County Line Falls, climbs to an ATV track and reaches Green Grotto parking, then follows the road back. This route requires the author’s track and off-trail navigation; no marked waterfall trail is established.
