How to get there:

From the Hooker Falls parking lot on Staton Road, cross over Staton Road, carefully watching for traffic. Walk along shoulder of road towards bridge and cross bridge. Find stepping stones and descend to the Little River on the opposite side of the bridge from parking area.

Find the trail running parallel to the river and hike upstream about 1000' on level ground.  Trail then bends to the right and ascends another 1000' feet up a steep slope.  Find view of Triple Falls on your left.  There is a trail down to the falls further up on the left.

Return the same way, or continue up to High Falls.
