On a recent caching visit to the area, I decided to hike to a few waterfalls. It had recently rained and the volume of water falling over the edge made this waterfall a highlight of the trip.
Mingo Falls is on the Cherokee Indian Reservation, just outside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. At 120 feet tall, the waterfall is one of the tallest and most spectacular in the southern Appalachians. The hike to the waterfall is only 0.4 miles in length, but it is considered moderate in difficulty.
Your journey starts at the parking coords and goes up about 150 steps to a nice, well worn and relatively level trail to a viewing bridge at the base of the falls.
I think I got good coords for the cache location but because of the possible canyon effect I am including a spoiler hint. With the coordinate update, the cache is not located in a spot BEFORE you get to the bridge. Feel free to post alternate coords. The hint will be a HUGE help with this one... USE IT.
