This is the most beautiful trail I have done in the Smoky Mountain Park to date.DIRECTIONS TO TRAIL HEADTo get to the trail head from Pigeon Forge heading towards Gatlinburg take a left at light #3 in Gatlinburg then veer left onto HWY 321 go approx. 6 miles until you come upon Greenbrier Rd. take a right onto Greenbrier Rd. go approx. 3 miles take a left onto Greenbrier Cv. Rd. go approx. 1.7 miles to the trailhead. THE TRAILThe trail is a 4 mile strenuous hike one way 8 mile total it is the hardest I Have done but also the most rewarding the trail starts off an it not to steep for the first 3/4 mile or so and it follows the Middle prong Creek you see the Creek most of the hike after the first 3/4 mile it gets a little steeper then you come to a log bridge that goes over the Middle Prong Creek it is a narrow tree bridge with a handrail approx. 20 foot above the stream not for the weak at heart, I would say this bride is approx. half way on the trail after the bridge about 50 yards you com to the Old Growth Forrest which is enchanting after another mile or so you come to another wooden bridge this one is not as high as the first and is a little wider, at this point you are 600 yards or so from Ramsey Cascades Falls after hiking another say 300 yards the trail gets steeper and rockier the last 300 yards are tough climbing. then you reach the cascade which is over 100 feet in height and very beautiful.TIPSWear good Hiking Shoes, take plenty of water or a camelback and some snacks you are going to need them. This hike took us 3 hour up and 2 hours down we are in our 50's but in pretty good shape we cycle run and hike.

The scenery and the waterfall were awesome. I want to make sure you are prepared. This is a very tough hike. Uphill practically the whole way, like you are climbing stairs. Rocks and roots are abundant making the trek more difficult. It was even more difficult coming down because of ice and mud and the risk of slipping. Word of advice be on your way up by noon or don't go. It took me 6 hours and I struggled to get out before dark

This is one waterfall that doesn't disappoint. It looks exactly like the pictures. I've hiked almost every waterfall trail in the Smokies and this is by far the hardest I've hiked. It is a 8 mile round trip hike, starts off fairly easy and gets very difficult at the end. It is beautiful, and we saw a mom and 3 cubs on the way. If you gonna hike this one, please wear boots and take plenty of water!!!

At the age of sixty-nine and made the climb! At the start I had no idea how difficult it would be. Next time I will wear hiking shoes, not walking shoes. I have never experience anything like this. We carried water, but no food nor flashlight... was a mistake. Met many people; one couple gave us the best ham sandwiches we ever ate... lol.. would have paid big time for it. A man showed us a picture of a Black Bear on the trail and I was concerned about getting out by dark. Took us nine hours but loved every step of it.

This was my very first hiking experience and turned out to be really awesome! Ramsay Cascades trail round trip was approximately 8 miles but appeared even longer. This trail has all the flavors; log bridges, rock climbing, water streams and steep paths. Though this trail is very exhausting but the waterfalls at the end of trail is worth this much pain. Very refreshing and one can easily forget all of the tiredness after reaching at waterfalls. It took us around 2.5 hours while going up and we came back in 1.5 hrs. Carry water bottles plus energy bars and avoid carrying bulky backpacks. Overall wonderful experience!

I have made the hike to Ramsey twice before and each time it has looked different. This time after some serious rain it was amazing. A thundering wall of water. We had to wade through the small falls just before the Cascade for the first time. Ankle deep but easily ffordable. The roar of the falls as well as the river that we followed in and out reflected the power of mother nature. Inspite of the rain it was the best visit yet.

We hiked to the waterfall in 2 hours and back down in 1 1/2 hours. We hiked it at a fair pace, with all in our group having hiked quite a bit before. The falls are lovely; the top was quite busy on the side of the water that the trail ends on.Definitely recommended! It's got a lot of roots and rocks to navigate but that makes it all the more fun, in my opinion.

Our trip time to the falls and back totaled about 6 hours. Took us 3 1/2 going up and 2/1/2 going down. Do not let the first mile fool you! It is much easier than the rest of the trail. My boyfriend and I did this together, and neither one of us are very fit (in fact he is very overweight and he still managed to do the whole trip), so we took a good amount of water breaks along the way. We each brought 2 water bottles, which ran out around the time when we had a mile to go. Make sure you bring at LEAST 3 bottles each as well as ample snacks and maybe lunch, because it will be an all day trip! I would recommend beginning the trail between 8 and 9 so you can get to the falls around lunch time and have something to eat. The falls are beautiful and very cool and refreshing, so if you are on the fence about doing the trail I would at least try it! Many photo ops and cute critters along the way.

This trail is rated as moderately strenuous......we have hiked many of the area trails and this is a difficult trail in my estimation. We did the trip in about 5 hours including about a half hour at the falls. I was glad I had my walking stick with me as it helped me with balance on the rocks when we got close to the falls. This trail is very hard on the knees as it is very steep coming down with a lot of large rocks to navigate. Wear good hiking boots and good socks and bring plenty of water and snacks. We have done Rainbow Falls several times and in comparison, this trail is much more difficult but the falls and the trail are both beautiful and worth it if you are up to the challenge. I wouldn't recommend it for small children as the rock steps are very high and the trail gets very steep.

My sister and I set off on this journey to hike to the waterfall. It is 4 miles up and 4 miles back down...total of 8 miles. I was huffing and puffing straight away. I think some of it had to do with the altitude difference. We are from Texas and have no high mountains. There is a trail the whole way up so you will not get lost. It is a rock path the first 1-1/2 up and then it turns into a dirt path and you are weaving in and out of trees, up rocks and over tree roots. Be careful and don't stump your toe and fall. During this you will see many small waterfalls, huge trees (I believe this is the last of the older forests in that area), and big rocks. You are in the trees the entire time. There are two bridges made of logs that you must cross the river on. These only have a handle rail on one side so it's kind of spooky but very fun and exciting. Do NOT forget to bring water and snacks. We brought two bottles of water each and that wasn't enough. It took us 3 hours to get to the falls. We were about to give up and some people coming down said we didn't have far to go so we kept on and made it. The falls are beautiful and the water is ice cold! Going down is tough on the knees so if you have knee issues please remember to wear a brace. It took us 2 hours to get down. This is so worth the hike and you can mark that one off of your bucket list!
