Buttermilk Falls But we climbed higher on the trail to see additional cascades, which we were able to do along a steep but well-developed trail alongside the creek. As we got higher up along the trail, we then entered a tight gorge area where we saw evidence of the power of the water that has created such a chasm. It was a pretty hot and humid day when we visited so we probably only walked about 1/2- to 2/3rds of the 1.6-mile loop taking in sights such as Pinnacle Rock as well as Pulpit Rock and many members of the Buttermilk Falls. Even though we took the Gorge Trail, there's certainly the option of returning on the other side of the stream via the Rim Trail.
