Getting there
Park at the small pull-off on the south side of VT 125 in Hancock, about 0.8 miles east of the Long Trail / Middlebury Gap parking and 2.3 miles west of Texas Falls Road. Walk roughly 150 feet downhill on the dirt road to a wooden bridge, cross it toward the Middlebury Snow Bowl lift line, then follow the ski-slope edge up about two-thirds of the way. Enter the woods on the left side on a rough, unofficial path and pick your way through the bushwhack to Robbins Branch and the tiered cascades.
