Not every waterfalls "hike" we do requires an actual hike. Some just require hopping out of the car and scrambling a short distance over some rocks or through some trees. Sometimes that turns into a lot of scrambling, as it did with Cullasaja Falls just before this. But here at Bust-Your-Butt Falls, there's no butt-busting required to see it.
Apparently the butt-busting option here is to try sliding down the falls. There's a rope on the dry rock next to them to help climb up. These falls are flowing way faster than yesterday's Slide Rock Falls, though. I wouldn't try sliding down the chute here... there'd probably be not just a busted butt but a busted foot, a busted leg, and maybe a busted head.
