Monday morning, we checked out of the treehouse and started making our way home. In Sylva, we took NC-107 south to Cullhowee and turned on Caney Fork Road. Right where the road turned to gravel after about nine miles, we parked and got ready for our first waterfall of the day. We hiked down Rough Butt Road and waded crossed Caney Fork. Across the creek, we picked up FSR-4669 and followed this for just under a mile to a ford over Rough Butt Creek. We were able to rock hop across and then picked up a narrow path to follow the creek upstream. It’s very overgrown and a bit steep, but not too long to Rough Butt Creek Falls.
I had to wade to the other side of the creek for a good picture, but fortunately, it was early enough that the sun was not shining on the waterfall. I got some nice pictures from the other side of the creek as well.
When I was finished, we hiked back.
