It ends at this beautiful 30' falls. It was a nice sunny day, but not so great for picture taking.

I guess we went about a half a mile down, then turned aound. The next shot is of the cascades below the main falls.

Recent reviews indicate that Yellow Creek Falls and Bullet Creek Falls in Reliance, Tennessee are inaccessible due to a recent wildfire causing erosion and blowdowns on the trail. The trailhead is difficult to locate and the trail itself has become overgrown and disappeared. Park at residence #705 and look for a stump to start the trail, but exercise caution. Typically in July, the area may offer a short .68 mile round-trip hike with steep slopes, beautiful waterfalls, and the potential for a nice swimming hole.
