- Steep slopes, loose leaves, dense brush and bluff obstacles. The historical account includes climbing a waterfall; that maneuver is not a recommended walking route. A safer continuous route around every obstacle has not been confirmed.
Rick Henry’s 2014 account reaches Maidenhair Falls upstream from the Cabin Falls Creek junction, then climbs out of the steep north side of the hollow. TAKAHIK independently labels the same waterfall. This is an off-trail approach through bluffs, not a maintained walking trail.
