A Hike up to an 84' Falls on Mount Ascutney

On the southwest side of Mount Ascutney is a single tall drop called Cascade Falls. This waterfall is a sheer drop 84 feet tall. The hike to the falls is through a hardwood forest with many wildflowers, ferns, mosses, etc. Looking at the cliff, particularly the water staining, one can see evidence that the water gets very high from time to time. Since the trail crosses the stream just above the brink of the falls, this may be hazardous in times of high water. If this is the case, getting a good photo in high water may be tricky as the only safe way down to the base is from the far side of the stream. The falls themselves are geologically interesting, showing a rare occurrence of a plutonic ring dike. The stream, which descends steeply to begin with, leaps over the 84' exposed granite cliff.
