Five Cascades Waterfalls - 369' high - On PRIVATE LAND - The Five Cascades gets it's name from the five cascades you can see from the base of the waterfalls. But in reality, the Five Cascades consist of the five cascades PLUS the two larger waterfalls above the five cascades PLUS Haines Falls. The Five Cascades are extremely dangerous to climb. In the 1800's they had ladders, and steps cut into the rocks. During the Hotel perion they had wooden stairways down the falls. Today the stairways, ladders and cut rock steps are gone.
