Montibello-A 21-year-old Norfolk man fell to his death Saturday when he left a hiking trail to view a series of cascades at Crabtree Falls in Nelson County.

Robert Keith Coffey became the eighth person in four years to die at the falls. He left a Forest Service trail near the popular cascades, reportedly to get a better view, while hiking Saturday with two companions, a spokesman for the Nelson County Sheriff's Department said. A few minutes later, Coffey, slipped and fell an estimated 75 feet.

Construction of the trail was begun last year to give hikers and sightseers safer vantage points from which to view the falls. Parts of the trail are still under construction, however.
