In 2018, Mark Oleg writes: "Only one-tenth of a mile above Upper Dick Creek Falls is a stunning 60-foot waterfall that people call Upper Upper Dick Creek Falls. Between Lower Dick Creek Falls and Upper Dick Creek Falls is a path (albeit faint). The path gets even fainter between Upper Dick Creek Falls and Upper Upper Dick Creek Falls, but I still wouldn't call the hike a bushwhack. Upper Upper Dick Creek Falls is at the coordinates N36° 08.662' W82° 19.175'.

Right at the top of Upper Upper Dick Creek Falls is another waterfall that people call Upper Upper Upper Dick Creek Falls. These are the only names that I have seen for these waterfalls. Upper Upper Upper Dick Creek Falls is a 20-foot vertical drop. You have to scramble steeply up through two cliff notches on the River Right (north) side of Upper Upper Dick Creek Falls to get to Upper Upper Upper. Upper Upper Upper Dick Creek Falls is at the coordinates N36° 08.672' W82° 19.142'."
