This was the closest I could get to these falls. I know of no trail to them, but a bushwhack would be something I would not attempt alone.

You can get there

You can get to the base of this waterfall and it's actually not too bad. It's on the right fork back at the creek crossing before the MST starts winding up the ridge. The trail crosses the left fork, follows the right fork for a few feet, and then pulls away to the left. Leave the trail and keep going upstream along the right fork. Cross when it gets tougher to keep going and stay as far right (around the dog hobble) as possible. You'll come to the cliff band which creates the falls. Follow it along up to the waterfall. I'd give it a 5/10 in terms of bushwhacking difficulty.
Here's a picture from the base:
