I hiked down from the brp so it wasn't extremely strenuous but the falls were awesome. We had nearly 3" of rain yesterday so that surely helped.

The hike to the waterfall is strenuous, but the waterfall is well worth it!

I hiked this from the AT from the BRP just north of the Apple Orchard Overlook. You get to go past Apple Orchard Summit, a nice descent to the falls which are impressive. Doing the loop via the Cornelius Creek trail is nice also. When we last did this, the snow was knee deep on the AT which was a challenge.
