You'll walk up to an overlook and the trailhead is on the left! When we got there, a few people coming back up said they saw a snake just a few feet into the trail but we didn't see it.

It was definitely worth the 30 minute hike to enjoy the breeze and cold water from the waterfall. We hiked a two hour trail in Gatlinburg, Tennessee last year to see "Rainbow Falls" and I didn't think it was worth it. We didn't want to leave but other people arrived and we didn't want to be selfish:D Went AGAIN the next day and I can truly say that the second time around was a better hike experience. NOT knowing what you're getting yourself into is kind...
