The white-blazed Cascade Trail is part of the "Grand Circuit" loop around the park. For this trail wiki, we have defined its lower trailhead at Hartsell Hollow. Cross the Catbird Creek and head uphill. The trail splits with an alternative upper spur loop. The path reaches a tee - right for an access point and information sign in the picnic area - or left to continue to follow the trail along the hillside. A sharp turn with a couple of steps up reaches a spur trail right to Huckleberry Knob, and an unmarked path tumbling down from the left which is a shortcut from Ladyslipper Loop. Cascade Trail continues forward on level grade. [[Fork Knob Trail]] heads off left. After another half mile through the burn zone, the untouched forest is entered at the small Cascade trickling down some sandstone rock is crossed. The path continues to wind around and up the slope into another burn zone at Stairstep Ridge. This trail wiki is then defining the upper trailhead at the Fork Knob bench. | The white-blazed Cascade Trail is part of the "Grand Circuit" loop around the park.
