Spruce Flats Falls are managed by the Tremont Institute, not by the park. They are about a mile up a quite steep trail behind the park. I hiked here twice; once mid-day to see if the falls were worth shooting, and again the next morning at sunrise (with waders strapped to my bag) to catch the dawn light. Both hikes were made in a hurry, so I could fit this hike in and catch up to the group.
