Description
This is one of 3 favorite falls along the Columbia River Gorge. After seeing this one once, it will stick in your mind forever. It is pretty much the epitome of the Horsetail form. There are views from 180 degrees around the falls, and some glimpses over the top from Horsetail Falls Trail #438 which leads to Ponytail Falls, it's upper counterpart. If you stick around long enough, you might also see one of the several freight trains that grace the area so often (the Union Pacific Railroad follows the highway all the way from Troutdale east past The Dalles). The falls are commonly said to stand 176 feet tall, but some sources placed its height at 208 feet.
