I hiked with a couple friends to the 'Upper Cascades' another nice waterfall very high up in the gorge and near the headwaters. This is more of a cascades then the better known falls at the bottom. We drove to the top of the mountain, took a dirt forestry road across the mtn tops and parked at a nature conservancy trail. This is the same trail to reach 'Bernie's Wall'. On the way down bear left on the trail instead of going to Bernies Wall and you will be walking down the mtn on a nice wide ATV trail, which eventually turns to a single track at the bottom where you reach the stream. From what i understand the trail goes all the way down to the popular cascades. But where the trail converges with the creek you will find the upper cascades that appears runnable with sustantial water. There is alot of gradient from here down to the popular cascades and may be virgin stretch. If you want to find it i suggest a DeLorme and some exploring. If I remember i will put up some directions to the upper trail and some pictures. John.
