- Late October for foliage
The trail is short — under a quarter mile — but the falls feel hidden, the moss is electric, and the rocks are perfect for sitting. Loop back through Helen for a German lunch and a slow drive home through the mountains.
The Insider's Note
Stop at Yonah Mountain Vineyards on the way back. Their viognier flight is the best $20 you'll spend all month.
