𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗫𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗥𝗔 𝗙𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗦 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗟 | CASCADE CINQ-CENT PIÈD | June 2021

A short, steep hike to the lip of a waterfall cascading 500 feet towards the south coast. Also known as Cascade des Galets. The views on a clear day are the best around. The trail is easy to follow and is not too physically challenging other than a short – 30-45 minute – ascent back to Alexandra Falls. The trail is well-worn and partly shaded.

Begin walking towards Alexandra falls viewpoint. When you reach the concrete circle you will see a trail veering to your left/east – go in this direction. This trail should take you across both of the streams that feed the two falls visible from the viewpoint and shortly thereafter it will begin descending.

The descent is steep and can be slippery. You will reach the rushing stream that feeds the falls – hop across on rocks. The waterfall is just ahead. Be careful around the falls as the rocks are slicker than pig shit. Return along the same route.
