Horsetail and Ponytail Falls, Oregon 6/27/12

 Take I-84 East from Portland to Exit 28 (Bridalveil) and go East 5.5 miles on the Historic Columbia River Highway. 
Horsetail Falls is probably the second most visited falls in the Gorge

It is right next to the highway, with a small picnic area and parking lot






 The parking lot is often full on warm summer days - go early (get there before 11 am) to find a space.  Closure of Latourell this summer (reconstruction of parking area) will push more people to this trailhead.  The trail is really not "more difficult".
About 1/2 mile up the trail is Ponytail Falls

You can walk behind the falls - great on a hot day!
