Description

Ponytail Falls has always been a photographer’s favorite in the Columbia River Gorge. I remember seeing pictures of it in calendars when I was young. The reason is clear – not only is it gracefully beautiful, but it is the only true walk-behind waterfall that can be easily accessed in the area, with a nearly 360-degree view. The maples in the understory are returning quickly after the devastating Eagle Creek Fire, creating a golden wonderland in mid-autumn which will only get better in coming years.
