  • To get here you must park at Cosby Campground and take Gabes Mountain Trailhead which is across the road from the picnic area. This trail is very wide and is a moderate hike with some uphill areas...

  • Beautiful and moderately challenging day hike! In my opinion, one of the nicest trails in the park. I liked the elevation challenge and the fact that there were few other groups hiking on a Saturday, and those were all somewhat experienced hikers with excellent trail etiquette. We made it out and back in about 4.5 hours with a 3 year old.
  • Beautiful 90 foot falls surrounded by boulders and wild flowers, at least in July. The hike is a bit on the harder side due to elevation gain combined with the trail is largely rock and tree roots. Be prepared for uneven footing throughout the hike. I'd wear boots. We saw many unique mushrooms, lots of butterflies and beautiful flora at the falls and on the way. Would recommend this hike!
