A quick series of smaller waterfalls lies several hundred feet upstream from Cold Spring Falls. The first drop is the most scenic one, a 15-foot sheer tumble in a small grotto. You need to stand nearly right alongside it to get a clear view of the waterfall. Two more small waterfalls lie a short distance above this one, dropping 20 feet and 12 feet, respectively. The drops are pretty cluttered with deadfall but lie in a nice rocky setting. To reach Upper Cold Spring Falls, you'll need to make an extremely steep bushwhack around the tall tumble of Cold Spring Falls.
